REACHING FOR THE MORNING


Deeper into the unknown
Trying to keep his balance
The darkness creeps into his mind
The climb is steep

All the years that have passed him by
The dreams fallen into dispair
Which way to turn
The end is near

He talks to friends
Do they listen
Can they understand
The lessons of time, don�t give direction

He stretches, reaching for the morning
Will light provide a way
From the loneliness
People all around, yet no one knows

Sleep, too much sleep
With nightmares of torment
Still he is here
Someone will help him find peace

Angels in the form of friends
Will guide him
Take him back to the dawn
The sun will shine on his back again
