Alive

Brighten that inner searchlight
Find that dim and muted glow
Deep down you know a deathless ebb and flow
The deeper sorrow hollows your soul
The more of your spirit it will hold (it will hold)

And what are your fears but souvenirs?
Keepsakes of your darkest years
The secret behind the veneer
The river from which you drink laughter
Was once flooded with your tears (with your tears)

At night you weep not for the Sun
Inside you is the dawn
The heart sings no other song
Yet do not the restless wish for calm?
Regret not how long
Let the eclipse of your soul go unforsaken
For in the dew of the morrow the world reawakens
(Brighten that inner searchlight)
(Find that dim and muted glow)
