Alone and searching

I walk all alone on the darkest of nights;

I look for the answers, I search for the light.

I search on for hours, the question so clear,

through seas of confusion with no answers near

and with no one to guide me, to show me the way.

Every step’s a mistake, for which I’ll eternally pay;

so I ask for the answers, I plead for just one.

Show me the path to the light of the sun!

Yet my questions aren’t answered – is this how it shall stay

as fear and much sorrow take my life away?
