Step 



Step away 



From the aching 



Because one of us is fighting such a hard battle 



So step away from the loneliness and the deceptions 

Go! 

And if we are strangers here 



Then I wonder 



Are we mislead 



After looking night and day 



Falling into shifting sand 



To lift our eyes from the black and blue grave 



We need a new perspective 

We have to find our place 



Where we seem to have no home 



In this shifting sand 

Each one of us is fighting such a hard battle 



So I hold on to my life with an open hand 



So we stay awake 



We lie awake 



That one day all these things will come to light 



As they really are 



Then we will ask 



What do we have 



That will not pass away? 

We have to find our place 



Where we seem to have no home 



In this shifting sand 

So let us be bold and deliberate 



What remains is our breath escaping now 



So we should protect these moments 



These moments of authenticity 



Like a remedy (if there is one for us) 



To be bold and deliberate 



With authenticity
