I sit in the dark not knowing where to go
I see a light so far away
This darkness is taking me too deep

This light I see, seem so far away
Is it hope, for another tomorrow
Is it the savior of my soul
Is it my soulmate, waiting till I come out
Can it be you my love
Reaching in, to get me out
I can not tell, It is so dark.

I sit here in the dark, waiting
Loosing grasp of time and place
loosing self and all control
My mind confused
For I can not see before me..
sending me deeper intoa void

Why the darkness
When all I saw
was my freedom,toward the light
I got sucked in again
I cannot stay in the dark again
I fought too hard to get away
I must be strong

Moving against a current
Slowly toward that light
Advancing 3 step forward
and falling 1 behind
I can not fall behind
I must not let darkness win

I must believe..
the light is waiting, just for me
I must believe
the balance comes, from within me
Holding on to that light
will bring me back from the dark

In your darkness, I see my light
In my light , you see your darkness
creating an equal balance...
between love and hate

This is interesting!:

"In your darkness, I see my light
In my light , you see your darkness
creating an equal balance...
between love and hate"
