Sombre Mines

The mines have taken my strength
	        taken my sight
                and   taken my breathe
Crawl to the light I cannot, thus my
Energy 
Nor will I see the light before I die
			 I am hopeless.

Journey Men

And when your little light shines out
What are you going to do about?
Days you know you can’t slow down
Days you know you can’t do with out 
You’ve endured through thorough droughts
Now you know there’s no way out 

And when your little light shines out
What are you going to do 
To make it through the night
The obscurity tries you
For it paints you a pale knight
How much further might you venture
Through this darkened isle

And when you find no barriers peace
You’ve made it to the end now 
You find rest upon a strangers smile 
And when your little light shines out 
When red lights stop your life
And green lights are not fast enough
Breathe
These are the moments that touch us
If we can make it to the morning
I’ve found comfort 
Within the light in your eyes
