• I have lived to love,
    I have loved to live
    yet deep in my heart
    I feel an end to this

    In my deepest depression,
    my darkest dreams,
    will grow ever darker
    as the world does, it seems.

    I look up above
    to a dark, starless sky
    where the moon no more shines
    and I'm asking myself why

    Why does the wolf howl
    when there is no more light?
    Perhaps he is mourning
    the perm'nant loss of his sight

    The sun no more brings warmth
    and the stars no light
    and now I must truly see
    the point to my plight

    I love no more for me
    but to bring life to others
    the small and meek,
    who can no more stand the shadows

    I will fight for the right
    never stray from my path
    and I know I have friends
    to help me through that

    The fox and the owl
    The finch and the deer
    And the one I'm to marry
    when there is no more fear

    I soar to the sky
    through the unending night
    my strong wings will carry me
    reach the end of my plight

    I will bring back the day,
    make endless winter no more
    Bring those out of hiding
    who were frightened before

    In victory I'll stand
    to make Heaven proud
    and be sure I'll see my God
    on His throne in the clouds
