Left in an empty room
With no one I can search for
In a dark and dingy place
With ashes on the floor
Remaining on the ground
Were those who came before
As I wondered through these halls
A small door I did see
An opening in the distance
Waiting there for me
A second chance at life
If only it were to be
"Walk in this door and see
A life that has begun
There's nothing here to take
None can pass but one
In order to live again
You must leave the world that's done"
The voice in the distance that spoke
Was like nothing I ever heard
The voice had accosted me
I couldn't believe a word
The voice that spoke to me
Was quiet as a bird
"Who are you" I said
In terror and in fear
"I cannot leave behind
The things that I hold dear"
I said this with a whisper
Holding back a tear
And in that very moment
As quiet as a sheep
A muffled voice would say
"There's nothing here to keep,
Leave it all behind
And take another leap"
