pain is darkness but there is always a light in every dark room
Follow me you said,
Trust me, Ill never let go

to trust is to commit,
to follow, is to let go

I've known you all my life,
yet I dont know you at all

a stranger within my darkness
a stranger from the light

a strong hand reaches for me
I pull back
the pain, it's too great
a burden heavy upon my soul

I cry out
no one answers
my call fades, dying within the wind
I reach out but only to fall

I am broken inside
a light dying within

I heard a still small voice,
It called to me ever so gently
I called. you didnt answer.
I screamed, you looked the other way.
I died for you, you spat on my face.

I close my eyes, blocking out that voice
I push it away
it hurts too much and so
i continue to fall

life runs by me, leaving me to death
friends fade, time fades.
I am fading.

I,the dying soul broken and alone
I am dying in this darkness, my own hell

A strong hand reaches out
I hesitate
Ive known you all my life
but I dont know you at all

Follow me you said,
Trust me, Ill never let go

to trust is to commit,
follow, is to let go

I take the hand now,
the darkness begins to recede
i can see
the chains have been broken away

I am free
I am broken, yet no longer a dying soul
I am in darkness, but I am full of light
I am dying but I am alive
