Only In Darkness You Can See the Star

only in darkness you can see the star

I managed to stand above 
never below

I don't care what it takes
yet I managed to be there 

some how in all this darkness
I managed to share a light 

some how I manage 
to wipe out the tears 
of joy on the faces of the poor 
when I managed to gave 

some how I managed to 
write 
I wonder how I managed 
this words of wisdom

despite all this darkness
I scramble
I managed to live above 
never below

despite the sadness
of life
I managed to keep 
warm in a cold world

darkness don't fear me anymore
cos am the light it fears instead

the more the darkness
the more I shine 

the deeper the darkness
the deeper I light the world

if you doubt
you can see by yourself 
above the dark sky that
only in darkness you can see the star
