I lie awake in thought.
The pains of my past fade away,
I'm close to the answer I sought.
It's so near I'm frightened.
I want to hide away.
I've lived so long in this lonely night,
How could I last the day?
The unknown is even
More terrifying than the rest.
Yet still I have to face it,
And somehow count myself blessed.
This life I love is all I have
And I have but one chance to live it.
I cannot cry as the world runs by
And pout that I didn't give it
My all.
