Opportunity

There’s a light in every hollow,
Like the world you never knew.
There’s a place where days are golden
Right here, waiting for you.

There’s a place of darkness,
From which you will have to grabble.
Hoping that you will find a little piece of daylight,
God will send you a map that you will have to read on the long journey.

Go ahead, go ahead…
If you succeed, you will perceive a paradise.

Go light your spark,
Set fire to the dark.
You will see that all the shadows lie behind you.

Just like a dark new moon,
Slowly changes into bright new one,
That covers the whole sky in its light
With millions of beautiful stars.

To shimmer like gold,
Blaze like a sun.
