The Unknown 

I'm tired of dreaming and empty promises  
I think I shall never see brighter days; 
I'm through with trying. 
I am so tired of your lying 
and your cheating ways, 

The moon that once shined
in my eyes, have died 
In the darkness you give,

I'm tired of living, yet scared of dying. 
crying is my friend
when our love did a worldwide,  
maybe things are crazy,
but look at all that I've been through. 
Look at all the pain I've won. 

against the earth sweet flowing of love 
of long ago you once held my soul, 
I bet you think that it's been fun 
sending my heart on the run, 
you never thought I'd turn away. 

you never believed you'd see this day. 
a tree that looks up at heaven all day, 
and lifts her leafy arms to pray
leaving behind all I know
changing it all as I must go, 

and grow like the tree that its roots dig deep, 
faint hands will row your outward appearance, 
But the inwards will grow with faith of love,  
Knowledge of love open my eyes, 
I left behind the love of my life,  

that killed my heart with the heat of the night, 
let me live, unseen, unknown; 
let me die with love in my heart for Jehovah God, 
let me live the way of faith without hate , 
winter fire is now a summer desire.
