I opened my eyes and looked around
The world was all laid out for me
I stretched my feet and walked around
Colors of life spilled out for me

It was a long night, and with every passing moment,
The darkness just increased
The battle was never ending,
I just dint seem to believe there could be any peace

What gave me that power,
Who gave me that strength…
How did I do it,
Without one lament?

I picked up the tools to start digging my field
It came to me when I was about to yield
Something held my hand, subdued my cowardice…
I heard a sharp voice: Fight for your own peace!

I felt it was watching over me
When I thought I wont be able to play along
It gave me the wisdom it made me to think
My life had a meaning and it cannot be wronged

I know what it is, now I know
I remember the words as my mother spoke
Let all go my child but never let this go
One thing to survive and the name is Hope

I never gave up then, I stood till they were all gone
One down, two down, and so the count kept on…
I tackled and battled the foes of the night,
And when the last one fell, I wept like a child!

Now I know what the wise people say,
After every night, there is an unfailing day
I woke up this morning with thoughts of the past
I grinned and chuckled: come whatever may!
