Every Eight Years

The first eight years of my life I learned,

After eight more years I have returned.

I searched for some hope to my heart,

Although I never quit, I fell apart.

Then one day love surged through me.

I forgive the world because now I believe.

When I close my eyes your face is seen.

I woke up in a sweat and it was only a dream.

I almost touched his heart with my hand,

But my hand is dirty and I cannot stand.

When I fell, I fell right over upon my own face.

Now I wait in silence as I pace...
