For I am

I´m standing here, right beside you
I´ve always been here, even if you never saw me,
maybe my shadow mixed with yours
and you thought you were alone,
but deep inside I´m sure you knew,
that loneliness was never within you.

Your light was born so bright
and fell to a deep darkness through the years.
Time went by and years got shorter,
and you wandered were to hide.
Your emptyness made you feel weak
and you coudn´t even smile.

But as we all know, nothing lasts forever
and once you´re out you can say
that you first have to fall, to learn to stand up.
Once you know this, you stop being afraid
and fall with all your dignity,
knowing that rebirth will come.

And then your light came back again,
brighter than ever before, with a strength unknown
that lifted you up when you thought you never would
and gave you a hope that will never end.
And then you realized that you were never alone,
that I was always there by your side,
watching you, taking care of you.

You have to learn to live your own life
because noone can stand in for you.
If you are afraid to move further and go on,
how could anyone possibly make that step for you?
If you can´t walk, don´t pretend to run.
If you don´t know where you are, find yourself.

Life is what you make of it, life is what you think,
your thoughts are the most powerful weapons
that will make you stand tall when everyone else falls.
And then you can open your arms and take everybody in,
and show them that love has no end and hope no limit.

Be the light that shines in you.
Be the love you want for this world.
Be the God you know you are.
Realize who you are and stand for it.
You are you, as a whole.
You are what you always have been.

And now you know that you are not alone
and that I have never left your side and never will,
for I am the soul that lives within you,
your God that will always guide you,
until you find your way back home.
