When I woke up in desperate times
To see a life where love resides
Within a mirror of fate, my eyes perceive
The shadows of the dead that I once grieved
They smiled and laughed as I recalled
How much I deeply missed them all
I saw the father of my mother
He said how much I’ve grown,
That in life and death we have each other
And love is what he’s felt and known.
There were three other figures standing there
In the night, taking in the ice-cold air
As they walked, I had a feeling that we had met
Gone went their silhouettes.
It was me, I saw myself to be free
With the love of my friends and family
By my sides were the people of my life
My wonderful son and beautiful wife
But it all suddenly came to an end
As I opened my eyes and saw the tears as they descend
I had torn apart my ties and chains that suffocated
I felt the power they gave, I’m free and vindicated
It was me, I saw myself to be free
With the love of my friends and family
By my sides were the people of my life
My wonderful son and beautiful wife
