MY LIFE IN HAND

As I walked through the valley of death

I realized that all I have lived was a lie

Now I'm faced with my worst enemy

with nothing for a weapon

with no help

with no light

with no strength

As I start this fight

I know I'm good for death

My hands are sweating

my legs are shaking

my sight is leaving

my heart is racing

my breathe is choking

I'm a sorry excuse for an opponent

to a foe as great as death

As I set my soul for war

I look back for one last time at the mirage 

I called life

Their smiles,

their hopes,

their dreams,

their love

all shining brighter than I've ever seen

My life in hand

fragile like a fawn

I have to protect you

Life is not crystal clear

no one will give you the key to its doors

there is no manual on how to live

but one rule:

"Keep your head above the waters"

I turn back to my foe with a whole new understanding

with a strength unknown to even myself.

I charge with a might of a warrior

Heaven smiles down on me

This decision I could only reach by myself

to fight for my life in hand

As I walked through the valley of death,

I feared no evil.
