Here is my hand, here is my heart

Here is my hand, here is my heart

For every soul that seeks itself

between the remnants of past days

or lives

For every wraith who doubts beyond

deepest despair in distractions

that give

Just a small amount of respite despite

efforts too much for one alone

to bear

Here is my hand, here is my heart

For it is big enough to hold you too

Do not despair

While in the darkness only candles

seem to glow, look beyond the flicker

to find hope

Which will be there, in distances far

and oceans wide, it shines bright

we can cope.
