I do not need the winter teardrop's
or the praise upon your lips
ashen smiles of little grace
immortal dance through time and space-

I need the silver words I so long to hear
the promise of eternal light
take away my pain, my suffering
from this endless night-

I do not need the sanctity
of people near or far
but seek the shelter
of golden dreams
like my shining star-

Give me hope that I may live
give me smiles that I may soar
give me all of you forevermore-
