Darkness has become my world
It is all that I'm used to
It has made me lonely and cold
Longing for a door to run through

A door I cannot find
One I am unable to open
Haunting my mind
With nothing to put my hope in

I realize my eyes are shut
I slowly open them
Looking, but for what?
Searching with all that I am

I see a light
Just a crack
Something so slight
On the darkness I turn my back

Toward it I stumble
Finally I reach it
A prayer I mumble
It only seemed fit

I open the door
And there you stood
I am lost no more
I've come out of the wood

Hope floods my soul
Hope in life and in love
Burning like a lit coal
A gift from above

Light shines all around
As I step outside
My feet on solid ground
With you I now stride

You show me a path
One narrow and true
Joyfully I laugh
To the darkness I bid adieu
