I Must Learn To Be Strong

I am but a being, trapped in a world that I must face I am but a soul, caught between the fire and heavens gate I am but a mortal, with no power to right the wrongs I am but a heart, that others can break I must learn to be strong My eyes see My ears hear My emotions feel, both comfort and fear Though I walk in the shadows, I know there is light For at the end of nights darkness, there is always the dawn....
