without fears
they broke in
they broke out
in tears

there is a night with a lighted moon again
inside my little library he mirrors my eye
I don’t see the lights from the streets
my vision opens up only searching for stars

without tears
they fought loud
they fought still
in fears

the days are bright and full of vision
at night we are always on a mission
we see nothing at all and fear everything
safety and hope won’t help us in a case

of sudden impact
of a moment unseen
of light in darkness
of vision
of fame

                                without vision
                                there is no future
                                we can live in memories
                                we can stay at home
                                but what is life
                                when we don’t move
                                the directions are endless
                                the distances apart

this is the time to be alive
this is the only time
this is the time
this time
is now.
