This night as I stared long into the dark starry sky
And feel the cold moon gliding towards silence
I found in that untroubled hour like a nested bird
Answers of my many years of running

I know why the darkness in my heart remains
I know why the devils are on my trail
I know why tomorrow feels so long
I know why I stumble so hard many times
I know why my heart is broken right now

I am one of those stars hanging in the clouds
And I need the darkness to burn bright

I need to be lost to seek the true redemption
I need a castle in the valley to sour above the hills

This day I've read the signs of time
And I will teach my child the same
For in it we sometimes find perfect directions
