We begin so blindly
Following whatever hand
That leads us
The more we see
The faster darkness
Chases us
We put on the masks
Handed down to us
We care for them
As if they are our skin
As we wade in the river
We wonder
How far will it carry us
Knowing nothing
Of the dangers ahead
We breathe
As we are told to breathe
We live
As we were taught live
But the world
With all its glory
Begs us to experience it
To love
As much as we are capable to love
We breathe in
As life requires
And we breathe out
Just the same
We are still so blind
To what lies ahead
The ones we flow with
Are lost in an instant
We carry them
Until our own current becomes weak
We carry on
Until all that is left
Is what we leave
To carry on for us
All the pain
All the sorrow
Compares little
To the joy
The joy we breathe
The joy we live
The joy
Of the love we pass down
In that
We are immortal
