To be or not to be
A reason of hope, sparkling! See?
One's look, one's fright,
One's stare, one's delight!
So plain, so pure,
So dark, so blur.
Hearts unfold fires ignite
Blazes of hope like the fire in my eyes
Yet uncertain the future
I sit all alone.
Feelings flow, so confused, I don't know
I guess I should be happy
But I feel so glum
Maybe it's just because I'm afraid
Afraid of what the future may hold
So all alone - I sit.
Just think, just think
One's heart, one's nightmare,
One's joy, one's sorrow
Oh do I want to know what troubles me so!
A yearning heart waiting to see
The splendor of this majesty
To be or not to be?!

I was blinded by my emotions
But now I'm beginning to see
The splendor of this majesty
Of what it can really be.
Of love I never knew
Of the sky turning blue
Of emotions I'd never recall
And I thought I would fall.
Love I did not recognised.
In the stillness of the night,
The serenity of the blue,
The voice of the trees, the monkeys and the bees,
The flowery scent of spring,
The weather it will bring.
Love I did not recognised.
Arise and be healed oh fallen one!
Open your eyes and see
What love is to be
God has seen oh unworthy me!
My understanding enlightened
Wellspring of joy to be.
And happy is me - I thank thee.
