Against the darkness never fight,

If all you wish is pain and sorrow.

Don't even dare to speak of dreams

When willingly you stop so shallow.

To hope just because others do it,

Is simply begging for confusion.

Instead have faith, and use your hunger

To find yourself and always choose it.

Not for one second lose the grasp

Of what was put in you since birthday.

As there is greatness in your sight

And all you need to do is claim it.

Don't fool yourself to think it's easy,

Because there's sweat and blood to give

And even tears and days of panic,

When all you want to do is quit.

But in your faith there's strength of sizes

That not yourself can comprehend.

Thus all you need is stop complaining

And follow love towards no end.
