I am STRONG because I am weak...<br /> I am kind because I am mean...<br /> I am a lover because I&#039;m a fighter...<br /> I am fearless because I&#039;ve been afraid...<br /> I am WISE because I have been foolish...<br /> ...I live because I&#039;ve died...<br /> ...And LAUGH because I&#039;ve cried...

She came to him with darkness in her eyes,
He looked upon her one last time, hit his knees and cried...
For beautiful though she was, t'was not the one he loved... Times change just the same
and now evil fills her heart...
The shadows came to take him to a land beyond the stars...
As he drifts away,
his body fades but the light within his soul,
Shines brightly in this dark other world...
Now the shadows gone and the world that he held dear,
Has become corrupt and cruel and fell apart as,
He fell down in tears...
