Follow Me

Come out of the shadow, 
Let’s go past the shrivelled meadow, 
There's a path through the night, 
Let's journey to the higher light. 

Come out of your chamber, 
Troubles don’t cease in slumber, 
There’s comfort beyond the sea, 
Resilience will aid us to see. 

Ere the midnight has cloaked the gate, 
It’s never too late, 
Let's push harder, 
Only then can we go further. 

Beyond us is what we aim for, 
Let's not be despondent and lame, 
There's freedom in that room, 
Only if we won’t be cocooned by the gloom.
