When I awakened
There was nothing left
Not soul on Earth
Not a single breath
I looked outside
With dread and sorrow
At the empty streets
There is no tomorrow
My fingers shook
With fear and pain
To see my brothers,
Broken and slain
I am the survivor
The guilt came fast
How could I have lived
When all have passed?
I sank to my knees
My head back in despair
I folded my hands
And sent out a prayer
Please take me too
The guilt is too much
Without friends or family
Who're warm to the touch
An angel appeared
A bright swirling light
With a voice that said
"Please live and fight
Although the day seems dim
There is still hope to bear
For you're not the only one
Who wanders in despair
There is one more
Shes kind and not afraid
She will bring a light inside
That's just as bright as day"
I dared to rest my eyes
On the swirling mass of light
In its reflection
It was me ready to fight
I am kind and not afraid
I am as bright as the light of day
I am strong and I will fight
With all my heart and all my might
