Whenever, I am surrounded by the complete darkness,
Puzzled mind and blurred eyes, horse with no harness,
Soundlessly I shouted into my eternal world; within me,
"O Lord! Chance me to ride; I am not yet praised to thee, "

With closed eye, I‘ve seen, candle burning with flame far,
Into deep down within me, awaken hope to win the lost war,
A bright shadow within out pulls me, commands me -walk,
You have not lost your speech and instinct - better you talk,

Till there is life, death cannot touch you, be bold,
Life is far better than precious diamond, zed or gold
