If you’re always under water
You no longer feel the rain
And when you’re so badly beaten
You no longer feel the pain

When you’ve walked a thousand miles
What’s to walk another two
When you’re bleeding, badly beaten
One more blow, what can it do?

When your body’s weak and sore
And there’s mud upon your face
When you want to go no further
You just want a restful place

Why should you continue fighting?
Why keep looking up for hope
Why keep carrying your burden
Trying to go on, trying to cope

From the deepest of all valleys
Or atop a mountain high
One can always see the heavens
One can always touch the sky

In the brightness of the sunlight
One can only see so far
But amidst the darkest night
You can see the furthest star

Long ago some men of wisdom
Used one star to lead their way
It is said that star and pathway
Are still there for us today

We can hear the best in silence
We can see the best at night
Let your self love be your guide
Let your goodness be your light
