The sky rains black
the shadows emerge
i think to times that
i wasnt concerned
the memories blow in by the wind
glimpses of the past from deep within
i wonder if my life was all pretend
and this is the time it will all begin
the shadows are gone when the light appears
a flame long since burning lights the way
knowing they arent there comforts my fears
heading for the future, no certain day
in the distance lies another flame
but darkness and mystery cloaks the trail
just taking another step, they're all the same
but with all that's on my shoulders my legs grow frail
its another step just like before
but in the darkness, the light seems so far away
with each step closer, just a little more
'its easier to go back' is what they say
there is something behind me pushing me along
is it spite or greed or something devine
it most be love because it's so strong
it helps me keep going when nothing is fine
it isnt my own but that from others
that which caused one to give his life
and from all my sisters and brothers
this love pulls me through all my strife
