When the toll of Life is more than I can bear to hear
When darkness prevents me from seeing the sunlight
I try to look for the answer and it's nowhere to be found
I go into the abyss of my heart and find its still deeper than I can bear

When the dark forces of the unknown break me down to my knees
When poison run through my veins and turn my blood to ashes
I raise my head to the Heavens and they don't look back
I fall down to the ground and it's harder than I ever thought it could be

But still do I rise and stand tall
I clench my fists and wear a smile
I free my will from the forces of Evil and do not look back
I walk alone with my pain as a crown of thorn

Until my Soul feels deep inside that the pain it has known is an illusion
As much as the pleasures of the material life are a dangerous mirage
And then, as a free Spirit do I walk on top of the highest mountains
And on the sand, at the bottom of the deepest oceans

My healed heart knows that the greatest truth is that there is no answer
Only a present moment, where there exists no past and no tomorrow
While there is only the certainty that I was void of knowledge before,
Now I know, I am living the life i thought could only exist in my mind.
