I may never understand why.
I may never prove what I know to be true,
but I know that I still have to try.

Safe in the light that surrounds me.
Free of the fear and the pain.
The question in mind has helped me to find
the meaning in my life again.

at peace with the girl in my dreams.
And now that I’m here, it’s perfectly clear
I’ll find out what all of this means.
