Darkness

[Verse 1]

Born in the dark, I was held by the silence so deep

My heart used to whisper, afraid of the light I could keep

The children were distant, their world was a place far away

And I told myself softly: "Just hold on, life goes an unpredictable way"

[Verse 2]

In corners of hallways, I hid every note of my voice

I acted so strong, while I broke with no hope and no choice

I counted the stairs, with no compass to show me the track

And I had just one wish, to sing till the rain started back

[Bridge]

No eyes lead my way, I am led by the voice in my chest

It holds all my childhood and pain, all the soul I possessed

From out of the dark, I have built up a world of my own

This is my song, and the seeds of the life I have sown

[Verse 3]

At night with my pillow, I shared every dream and its tone

I stroked the whole world with my hands, not with sight, but alone

My mother would tell me: "You’ll reach any place that you prize"

And I’d answer her softly: "I’ll be a song, by the light of my very own eyes"

[Verse 4]

The darkness, it carried me—taught me the things I should know

To hear every breath, every whisper the shadows would throw

I don't see the world like the others, I don't wake at dawn

But I feel it much deeper—inside where the fire is drawn

[Bridge]

No eyes lead my way, I am led by the voice in my chest

It holds all my childhood and pain, all the soul I possessed

From out of the dark, I have built up a world of my own

This is my song, and the seeds of the life I have sown

[Chorus]

I’m a voice from the night, but I burn like the brightest of days

I broke into pieces, no longer a prey in the haze

I don’t see like others, but I feel the weight of it all

And where there's a price, I am born with a brand new soul

[break]

[Verse 5]

Now I stand on the stage and I tremble with every new breath

The crowd breathes with me: "This is life—not a poem of death"

I won’t speak of fame, or how I reached the height of the sky

I just sing from the dark for a light that is passing us by

[Bridge]

No eyes lead my way, I am led by the voice in my chest

It holds all my childhood and pain, all the soul I possessed

From out of the dark, I have built up a world of my own

This is my song, and the seeds of the life I have sown

[Chorus]

I’m a voice from the night, but I burn like the brightest of days

I broke into pieces, no longer a prey in the haze

I don’t see like others, but I feel the weight of it all

And where there's a price, I am born with a brand new soul

[Bridge]

No eyes lead my way, I am led by the voice in my chest

It holds all my childhood and pain, all the soul I possessed

From out of the dark, I have built up a world of my own

This is my song, and the seeds of the life I have sown
