I look for a light in the dark, but not even a glimpse can be found
I search for a dry warm place on the cold wet ground
My hands wipe my face, raw from countless tears
I wish I could escape my internal fears
But alas I am trapped, a dog in a cage
A lonely soul, looking at the wrong page
I've begged and I've pleaded, I've wanted, I've needed
I was warned of this pain, but I left it unheeded
I wish I was dead but I wish I was alive
There was a time once when happiness did thrive
That time is long gone away, and now no one the same
We've lost our happiness and we're filled with shame
But then one day a lot does shine, it's oh, so bright and oh, so kind
It shines on through all the doubt in my mind
I laugh and play and sing with joy
I feel just like a brand new toy
There is a lady soft and nice, she hugs me once, she hugs me twice
She tells me that it was all a dream and sends me off with a smile agleam
I lay down in the warm dry ground with happiness buzzing all around
Then I hear the slam of a door and I know I'll this place no more
The woman tells me with a bright smile, she'll see ma again in a little while
I'm ever so sad when I wake up on the cold ground again with darkness all around
I think about my dreams and smile a secret smile, I'll see them again in a little while
