Test me like a task, a challenge, a chance
for I fall in ignorance, I trance, I trance.
Lift me like a wind, a tide, a fly
for I fall into the Earth, I die I die.
Strengthen me like a storm, a thunder, a seed
for I fall in thorns, I bleed I bleed.
sculpt me like wood, clay, a stone
for I fall into trash, I bemoan I bemoan.
Shine me like a star, a moon, a beacon
for I fall into the dark, I weaken I weaken .
Cheer me like a smile, a charm, a clown
for I fall into gloom, I frown I frown.
Guide me like a lantern, a candle , a sun ray
for I fall in the wild, I stray I stray.
Boost me like hope, a belief, a wit
for I fall into regret, I quit I quit.
"Is there anyone to help me out"
in my last chance at happiness?
I doubt I doubt.
