In darkest night I hear the sound
Of silence folding all around
The gentle sway of emptiness
Enlightens my need of success.
The morn will come and light the way
To help me face a bright new day
Another start, another try
These gifts the world does not deny.
Since time decides if I have failed,
My heart concludes, the ship has sailed
I’ll clasp my hands and close my eyes
And lose myself in paradise !
