Leave Your Darkness Behind

What do you see when you look at me your eyes so wide and blank, while I sit in the breezy sun free you work in the deep dark dank. Death for you is everywhere and with you everyday, life for you it's just not fair I hope you find your way. Now I've been close to death myself and shivered in it's wake, where life is on some mountain shelf a distance I can't make. But I looked up and all around for hand holds I could climb, so up I go and don't look down for life is on my mind. So don't look back upon your past like something dark and dim, you look ahead and make life last if not for me...for him.
