She once saw flames

On certain sleepless nights

Those who had already left

Once more returned before her

She could barely tell

Whether this was her hallucination

Finally, she said to the darkness

If it is all right

Please take me away

And extinguish all the lights

Don’t wake the others

Let me run through emptiness

Past the edge of the earth

And when the door opens, I’ll come in

Now she passes through the streets

Sees herself in a crowd

She watches as a blue fog

Gradually swallows her whole

This overwhelms her with doubt

Is this her world?

Finally, she says to the masses

If it is all right

Please take me away

And extinguish all the lights

Don’t wake the ones who are sleeping

Let me run through emptiness

Past all obstacles

And when I feel afraid

Please give me your hand

Please give me your hand

Please give me your hand

Please give me your hand

Please give me your hand

Please give me your hand

She once danced on ice

Saw those victorious people

They silently passed by

Securely going about their lives

This overwhelms her with a thought

Is there another way to live?

Finally, she says to the river

If it is all right

Please take me away

And extinguish all the lights

Then forgive all wrongs

Let me run through emptiness

Past the end of time

And when a new day comes

Please give me your hand

Please give me your hand

Please give me your hand

Please give me your hand

Please give me your hand

Please give me your hand
