Lights of Life

Remains lay smoking
Crawling little by little I can hardly breathe

Unprotected
Exposed to the numbing conditions I feel no pain

Fall in the snow
Dazed and confused
Paralyzed with fear
Huddled together for warmth in the trees
Where are the lights
Where is help
Only the silence

Oh help me
Oh help me
Oh help me
Oh help me

Still the sky was empty
Freezing fog descended
And a star begins to fall

Silence was an enemy
More hated than the cold
So we whispered stories to help us forget

Then out of the sky
Came the lights
Two tiny lights
I wanted to catch the Earth and the stars
No cruel mirage
A distant visage
The silence was broken

Out of the sky came the lights
Out of the night
Out of the fear came the strength the strength delayed
Out of the sky came the lights
The lights of life...

It was my birthday the day they found me
Now I'm one week old
My life, from this moment, begins again

Out of the sky came the lights
Out of the night
Out of the fear came the strength delayed
Out of the sky came the lights
The lights of life...
