Followers of the Light
Ever notice when it's dark;
There is an absent of light;
Have you ever embarked;
To travel through the beveling clouds;
Shadowed and silver lined walls;
Basically at awe, no eyes can penetrate;
In awe we reiterate, captive by the shadow of the darkness prowls;
when things go wrong;
I can't see myself
In the darkness long;
I move on, until I become a flower of the Light;
Have you been encapsulated and enclosed behind walls;
Darken by the four corners and six walls;
Can't see at all;
traveling while encased in beveled clouds;
Purple, blue and black shadows with no windows to open;
Basically at awe, no eyes can penetrate;
Get me out of here tired of being held captive;
I can't see a thing, everything around me is dark. . .
when things go wrong;
and I'm not strong;
I can't see myself;
In the darkness long;
I move on, until I become a follower, moving
I move on, until I become
I move on, until I become a follower of the Light
No longer in the darkness now,
I can see what's right;
I am one of the followers of the light
