2. You are being Called,
Can you hear me?
In the cries of sleep I wrestle in the night,
He passed, she transcended and now,
I am lost in the darkness...
I am blind in loss and lost in the wake,
Searching for meaning,
Horrendously feeling, nothingness...
Sick to my heart the ache is everything,
All I can taste and smell is the unknown,
The vast persistence of death reminds me,
I am alone, I am all by myself, sinking,
Missing in the gulp, I think of the last breath...
3. At peace I hope,
In freedom,
My grief is not of you or of love,
But the loss of love,
My sadness is mine...
You deserted our dreams,
All we envisioned, all we had lived,
Can you hear me?
A guardian, in the far and unseen,
Hello, do you feel me?
You are the keeper of the invisible,
To the stairway to heaven,
The guardian of light,
Shining bright, I want to see you,
Feel and touch you,
Touch me, free me...
4. My guardian,
Illuminate,
Brighten my heart,
Heal my pain,
I surrender my su鍖ering,
Hear I remain,
While you were called...
Hello my guardian
My light in the dark,
I see it now,
Why you transcended...
5. You are in鍖nite,
Grief is not the stairway to heaven,
Grief is the entrance of light,
The beam from within,
To heal and appeal the su鍖ering,
To transcend it all from here...
I, you and me,
The light that touches the world,
We have been called to unite!
