THROUGH THE DARKNESS WE SEARCH IN VAIN
FOR THE ANSWERS TO LOSS AND PAIN.
AND OVER THE MOUNTAINS WE SHALL CLIMB
WHETHER OR NOT WE WANT TO TAKE THE TIME
LIFE HAS A WAY OF LEADING US ASTRAY
FROM WHAT WAS HOPED FOR AND WHAT WE PRAYED
DREAMS BECOME NIGHTMARES WHEN THEY COME TRUE,
NIGHTMARES BECOME A PART OF YOU
DARKNESS IS A VISIONLESS INPRESSION ON THE SOUL,
ITS IN THE LIGHT THAT WE BECOME WHOLE.
WHEN THE LIGHT SHINES UPON US IT SHOWS OUR TRUE SELF,
SOMETHING WE HIDE FROM EVERYONE ELSE.
PERHAPS WE NEED THE DARKNESS SOMETIMES,
IT THE PLACE WE HIDE WHATS IN OUR MIND,
THE SEARCH IS IN VAIN THE TRUTH IS FREE,
IS EVERYWHERE WAITING FOR YOU AND ME
IT HIDES NOT IN THE DARKNESS OR IN THE LIGHT,
IT IS EVERYWHERE IN PLAIN SIGHT
CHOOSE TO SEE IT AND THERE IT IS,
THE REALITY OF THE LIFE IS WHAT WE LIVE
