When I feel my blood boil,

            …I close my eyes.

When I feel my heart sink,

            …I close my eyes.

When I feel my spirits drain,

            …I close my eyes.

When I feel my body buckle,

            …I close my eyes.

When I feel my muscles tear,

            …I close my eyes.

When I feel my ego shatter,

            …I close my eyes.

When I feel my pride shrink,

            …I close my eyes.

When I feel my future cloud,

            …I close my eyes.

To the sun I ascend,

To the sun I surrender,

For a brighter tomorrow.
