In life and lies I can't disguise,
the pain that dwells inside my mind;
my shadowed heart cannot abide
the fire that burns down, deep inside.
I live alone, lost in dark night,
no star nor sun, no moon in sight;
I cannot see their celestial light
and yet, within, I feel them fight.
While echoes sound, their cries rebound,
and the earth stops spinning round,
my soul does smile just like a clown,
as life erupts from underground.
Lost in Winter, found in Spring,
I cling to joy that hope can bring;
I am sorrow that sweetly sings
to see the bird that takes to wing.
