As the world slept I lay awake,
As the world slept I wrestled with questions I couldn't answer,
As the world slept I lay awake fearing I was breaking all over again,
As the world slept I prayed the voices in my head would be quite even just for a moment,
As the world slept I watched the sun rise
As the world slept I smiled and believed in the hope of a new day,
As the world slept the sun's rays shone the light of endless possibilities in my heart,
As the world slept the darkness lifted I'm free of my fears,
When the world wakes I too will step out
Join all of humanity in it's rhythm of living,
Bravely step out and mark my footprint on this land.
