to see you smile

do the stars shine out there
when the darkness covers the sky
do rainbows come out after the rain
are hopes fulfilled
do wishes come true

I looked over the horizon
And I wonder
How far is destiny
How fragile is life
Does a fool know more than we do

I’m searching for answers
Of questions eternally asked
I’m seeking for refuge
And found warmth
In the long, cold night

How does one survive
When all is lost and nothing’s right
How do you keep believing
When no one understands
How hard is it to hold on

What does it take to be forgiven
How long is needed to heal
How much does it require to learn
How far will I have to go
Just to see you smile again

hold on

you waited in darkness
to hide your sorrow and pain
you were fighting a losing battle
that no one ever won

in grief you mask the hurt
you carried false smiles in your pockets
and at night you drink the bitterness
as you cried yourself to sleep

in vertigo you lead your life
till you had nowhere to go
you tried to make it all go away
till you heard a voice from within

hold on, don’t give up
don’t throw all your dreams away
hold on, carry on the fight
everything will be alright

you tried to make amends
you go on like everything’s well
you held your head up high
till the emptiness haunts you

you kept up with all the struggles
you prayed for redemption
and when all is lost
you tell yourself, “hold on..”
