I have spent years in the dark
There has been times the light came in
But it never stayed
And I cried as I watched it fade
My ups were less than my downs
And I struggled to understand why
I have lived a good life, I know I care
But my soul is always bare
I have searched for an answer
I found love and peace
But as day follows night
At some point it took flight
I am now nearer the end than the beginning
Yet still I want to escape the dark
I pray for the time my life is full of light
To never never again have to fight.
