Things grow darker every day
Can't remember what I'm thinking
Pretty soon I'll loose my way
And into dark despair I'm sinking
In my mind I'm cold and tired
Yet my heart insists on beating
I pray once more to be inspired
I hear a little voice repeating
Never lose hope because your spirit never dies
You're stronger than you think if you open up your eyes
Take a look inside yourself and then 'round where you 
stand
And maybe, yes, just maybe the answer's waiting in your 
hand
Friends are calling on my name
To raise their spirits I endeavor
Their pain, like mine, is much the same
I tell them "No, it's not forever!"
Never lose hope because your spirit never dies
You're stronger than you think if you open up your eyes
Take a look inside yourself and then 'round where you 
stand
And maybe, yes, just maybe the answer's waiting in your 
hand
Step by step, it's darker still
Every vein inside is severing
Going on's an act of will
And on that voice I'm betting everything
Become as simple as the wind or as the beasts upon the 
earth
Learn to control the inner power that was bestowed on 
you at birth
May have to give yourself a shove or just step back and 
take a breath
When you have conquered fear of love, you know that you 
have conquered death
Never lose hope because your spirit never dies
You're stronger than you think if you open up your eyes
Take a look inside yourself and then 'round where you 
stand
And maybe, yes, just maybe the answer's waiting, 
waiting in your hand
