Like a statue made of clay

I was longing for a life

Waiting for a spark in me

Waiting for a spark to be

Then the miracle showed up

And I truly came to be

I could burn my little flame

Make it larger – make it grow

All

I had

to do

was see

All

I had

to be

was me

I wake up – what shall I do?

What I did the other day?

Or perhaps the day before?

Said a statue made of clay

Shining stars above my head

Burning bright for me to see

Though they made no sense to me

So I stopped to raise my head

and search for the light

for the light above

and the light that shines within my inner soul

In the dark

Closed inside a box

I kept myself

alone

What led me to this nothing-ness I

long for a way to get outside

I want to shine again like stars by their own light

Want to find again

what I now long for

[Why] Why I’m standing here now

[I] Where I’m truly going to

[Am] What I should accomplish

[Here] and why t’ is important

[Why] What does truly matter

[I] What I should abandon

[Am] What I need to look for

[Here] That keeps burnin ‘nside of me

All too easy seemed to be

All was needed was for me

to walk through those fixed steps

Well arranged for me to see

Fixed steps preset my path

Footfalls leading to nowhere

Telling me what play to act

Telling me what mask to wear

on the stage of life

acting as if were

a true story rather than a plot done to the very death

Leading me

To a fairy land

that does exist nowhere

What led me to this emptyness I

need a new way to get outside

I want to burn again and shine by my own light

Want to find again

what I now long for

[Why] Why I’m standing here now

[I] Where I’m truly going to

[Am] What I will accomplish

[Here] and why it’s important

[Why] Why I’m writing these words

[I] Where they lead my soul to

[Am] What I will find once there

[Here] Why it is so important

[Why] What does truly matter

[I] What I should learn anew

[Am] What I need to look for

[Here] To keep my flame burning

[Why] Where shall I find my self

[I] And if I will tell me

[Am] That the path was worth it

[Here] More than all the steps on it

All I had to do was to look and see

All I did have to be was me – Just

nothing else but me
