as the sun shuts it's eye to the world
so the moon could start it's nightly watch
and the winged fellows make a homely bow
I promise I shall be back

I ponder a lot about he who is my LORD
despite all my fault he still gave me much from my youth days even till now
I am sustained and will never lack

even when pains and hardships made me cry
and foes and friends were all alike
my fears synchronised with the the beat of my heart
I just knew I had to go

I left to give a new beginning a try
to heal the soul, body and mind alike
to make the head rest at night
just don't worry, I needed to go

never wait the night up for me
it's my cross i have to bear
if it takes a lifetime to do
believe me or not I will be back

all you did see was my laughter
smiles and friendly banter
never for once you really thought
that deep inside I could be hurt

I tried to live my life the best way
I could, just to make you smile every day
and you never saw the pains and tears
that i hid deep inside all these years

but today I am giving it all up
bringing flowing tears and blood to stop
never to feel again the chest rise
to the beat of life which is a ruse

the pain eats slower
the turmoil gets deeper
they think they know
but that's their imagination

everything looks normal
even smiles come easier
the tears that come
felt only by the one in the mirror

shattered dreams, unspoken fears
bleak future all rewards of sin.
shared moments more saddening
future tales less likely

the will to persist evaporates
the urge to give up radiates
I see the strength go gradually
I see their tears now more clearly
