The day is graying
Time is flying
Man knows not his going.

Clouds of confusion
Veil the future with depression
For this the spirit holds no comprehension.

The night brings dreary darkness
Light shies away from its nakedness
Our eyes are plagued by blindness.

Doubt divides our heart
Fear tears us apart
Hope falls like an over-ripe star.

Yet let's seek the light
That hangs its lamp in the sky
Wisemen sought the light till they found life
