You give me strength to face the day
To silence these inner demons
That haunt me through the night
Keeping me from sleep and rest
You make waking up worth the effort
For within your kind words
I find the courage to keep pushing on
Because you make me believe that
Beyond all this misery there is happiness
A joy that's locked deep in our hearts
Only to be unlocked by a selfless act
For true happiness lies in brightening
The life of those who have lost hope
I was without hope some time ago
But then you came and showed me
The way through the gates of light
So that I too might open these gates
For others trapped in the darkness
