Sometimes I lose hope and I start thinking
Maybe this is the day I'll finally be sinking
I don't even know how am still breathing
Moments after the coup de grace still my heart keeps beating
As the clock keeps ticking
I constantly thank God for every minute am living

Even in the face of death and darkness

I try to be like Hercules
Live my final moments heroically
Cast out all sad thoughts, leaving only happiness
Happiness like the first time you hula hooped
Or
The first time you saw the gentle glow of a halo
Pure joy filling the parts of my soul that were once deserted and hollow
