Finding the light

I was once a young child
And I quite often smiled
Plainly it was my style
And this lasted awhile

I was once but fourteen
And my life was between
Growing into a man
And not having a plan

But what is an adult?
Just what is the result?
Since I am a young man
I always thought I can

I am twenty-two
I struggle to stay true
To the beliefs I knew
Just like I used to do

Harder it gets each day
I will not go astray
Till my strength finds end
To maintain and defend

I need to see the sun
To find it I will run
To see my only sunrise
High above in the skies

I will give my heart away
I will not go astray
To the one who brings light
To this this eternal blight

If and only if this fire
Does not lead into a mire
The fire has to be true
It must create a glue

Too bind the two people
Underneath the steeple
Holy matrimony
Joined in pure harmony

It's my primary goal
My desire, my toll
I fear the endless night
It brings nothing right

Nothing comes that is real
Just like another meal
Always we are eating
And all things are fleeting

I want that ageless dove
What people dream for, love
