I Am Alive
In the darkness, I lost my way
Groping through empty space my soul yearned for hope,
I hope to find in such despair, the kind words of a friend
The gentle touch of my father
The warm embrace my mother could give
Oh! life I seek to find you
My lungs was pleading for mercy,
Gasping, gasping for air to breath
I could see with pain my life slipping away, as they had so desired
God! I called out,
If you are real, send me help
The silence fell, the curtains dropped
falling over my fragile body, my weak arms and shaky feet
could this be the end for me?
Oh! I wonder, searching through my emptiness the mystery of life
The joy of living, a reason to live on, to hope on and dream on
Am awake from this sleep of mine
From this state of mind
I refuse to be put down by you my misery and my foe,
By you great adversary I faced yesterday
By you Oh darkness that once entangled me
The shining of the sun smiling so bright at me today tells me these;
You are alive!
You can hope on,
You can dream on,
You can trust on,
You can live on,
For this reason I say it out loud,
I am alive!!!
