                                                                              I am shattered, pieces fall all around
                                                                              My sobs seem to be the only sound
                                                                              My soul has left me for a higher place

                                                                              Through the pain I see a light

                                                                              It gives me hope, a place to build
                                                                              The search for the soul he could not have killed.
