The light in my window

i would look up to you
my guiding star
you would light my window
when the world was dark

shadows appear, across my face
as if a disease
vines take your place
day by day
they swallow your light
vines of doubt and confusion
i try to fight

how i long for the sun
my world in ice,
a battle not won
my life to pay the price

1...2...3
you again i will hold
one by one,
i drive away the cold

now i close my eyes
