How

How can a world
So cold and so dark
Be so warm and so light
When we're not apart

How can a world
Full of pain and decay
Be so free and clear
When I choose to stay

How can a world
Surrounded by death
Be so full of life
When we share one breath

How can a world
That's now at its end
Be only beginning
When you're on the mend

Inside your world
I long to be
Together as one
Where no one can see

For only your world
I'd die to protect
My mind sacrificed
To keep your respect

And searching your world
I will find my soul
Inside of your hands
That I must let go
