In dark times, when hope seems to hide
When evil things scatter, while children cried
These days that I wander
Such strife made me wonder
What do I need to uncover
To cross that precious border?
A border, a wall indestructible and tall
Which separate two worlds
Of sorrows and joy
As I stroll around this place
Filled with doppelgangers of true joys
Inside me is a battle of two great things
One is fear and one’s unknown to me sinks
What do I need to have?
A thing so reachable yet distant to me
A thing that would make me stand and not flee
A voice loud and clear
One that says I am not weak
One that tells me I will rule over my fears
One that says I can handle despair
What do I need to have?
To know that I may see through a life in this place
With much strength and courage
To cross that precious border of sorrow and joy
To cover life’s battle road,
An anguished mileage
