Hello darkness my good friend
As a new day comes I see your face again
Surrounding me in every way
Even in the light of day
I’ve lived my life next to you
seeing traces in everything I do
everywhere I have gone
reminded of you in every song

but it times to learn the truth
about the nature of our youth
I would find you hiding in my room
and my heart was filled with doom
now as an adult you still abide
and I see you walking by my side

I wondered if you would ever go away
and if there would really be a happy day
filled with only joy instead of tears
filled with laughter instead fears
I thought I could find a way
for you to no longer stay
and drown me in your sorrow
to bring about a brighter tomorrow

But losing you is not the way
I was wrong I have to say
it is not in losing you that saves the day
but reuniting you with what you lost
and understanding the cost
It is not in making something vanish
That will bring about this wish

it is bringing it close and dear
that will finally dissolve the fear
loving that in which we hate
is the way to seal our fate
with the greatest love of all
and heading God’s great call

Not to let us fade away
but to live eternally in day
to find peace and joy inside our heart
is the way we end and start
this magnificent journey of life
and release the strife
of all we thought we saw in the night
and seeing it was just another light
that lit up the world we knew
and lit all hearts including me and you
