The path hurts, and darkness swallows,
but close behind an unseen light follows.
The light made not for the eyes but the heart,
I am only a puppet, playing my written part.
I close my eyes and I take the leap,
For I know that the protective light shall never let me weep.
If it was not for that which always stays around,
True peace could never be found.
Oh light! some see you in idols and some in the skies,
I only see you when I close my eyes.
Never felt hated, never felt alone,
You love me despite my sins to atone.
Many forms you have, shall you show me none?
Perhaps, the fate I desire for is already done.
You create, you protect. you destroy,
You bring despair to strengthen, and as reward you bring joy.
Listening to the divine sounds of your many names,
why do you pluck the strings of destiny? why do you play such games?
Shall I ever understand your will, your true plan,
Look at this world! being destroyed by man.
Look at the wreck of humanity,
look at this disaster, look at this calamity!
Is this too, part of a bigger plan, tell me, you must!
I can't hear your voice but in you I trust.
Give me strength, don't make me a liar,
Make me life colorful, till I reach my pyre.
I shall not fear, for death is not the end,
I will see them all again, every family and friend.
What is death? you only took back what you gave,
either from the pyre or from the grave.
Till then keep my deeds in account, keep my sins weighing,
Keep me true and keep me praying...
