I was a child,
life was an adventure,
in everything i did, i managed to find a smile,
and found joy in the small things,
...

He walks the deserted road,
as he stalks the cold night,
the moon without a care lie nigh,
while the stars, blink blink on their throne high,
...

There is thing that i carry,
Deeply embodied in my being,
And the pain it brings i haven't been able to bury,
Or shield myself from the gawking eyes,
...

On a long tarmac stretch was a lone stranger,
umbrella in hand, beaten by the July weather,
she a passing angel,
each going on with their busy life,
...

I weep season after season,
my wails and sobs are heartbreaking,
they rock my body and it shudders,
I lament for the human race,
...

i think of you sometimes,
This time, that time,
coming times, all the times,
i think of you.
...

Lord I pray shine thy light,
to these days that beget only sorrow,
am worn out not worth for the fight,
offer me your arms' hollow,
...

The birds are chirping,
as dawn is breaking,
a new day here we've got,
and with it it brings,
...
