How

How ?


How do I start a new life?

I’m not sure where to begin,

When the only thing I’ve depended on

Has suddenly come to an end.

What will I do with my life?

How do I plan to survive?

When the sure thing 

I knew I could do

Can no longer keep me alive.

How do I live on thin air

That only can support my wings?

Of course I can glide on currents, high.

But now how do I pay for my things?

How do I keep a roof over my head?

How do I feed the things that should be fed?

How do I turn those big dreams into bread?

Well, when all else fails I sing.

I Sing-in my Love. 

I Sing-in my Peace.

I Sing-in belief in Myself!
