Beyond Me

There’s a path I don’t yet know,
The day hasn’t revealed it to me,  
The night has its rhythm,  
Flowing along its hidden route.  

I’m digging deep,  
Finding that the strange may be the way,
I look out of the window, wondering if I might run into Dawn's embrace, 
Can I trust its awakening light to guide my path?  

Oh, Light of lights, show me the way through the stygian night,
Guide me to the blossoming meadow,  
Fill my gloomy chamber with brightness,
Help my boat find the river that brings joyful moments.  

I won’t stop believing in the best days ahead,  
Even though I’m held back by stubborn shadows, 
My beloved awaits me miles ahead,
I am fighting to unlock the door that separates us.  

I’m weary from the struggle,  
I plead with the Radiant Light to aid me.
