I can hear you calling me from a distance
What once was faint is now desperate and determined
I wonder if you can hear me sobbing
We are lost, not to be found until we finally meet
I have been searching for years but now I draw closer
I run faster hoping to catch your shadow
I know you are near, just on the other side of hope
I falter, as I have done many times, but your cries lead me onward
And then, in an instant, you appear
I stare in awe at a face that mirrors my own
But I can't get to you from here
It is forbidden
For you are in Heaven and I must be in Hell
You are right there, just on the other side of hope, yet so far away
How do I find the means, where will I find the strength
Will I ever hold you, my child

You believe lies so you eventually learn to trust noone but yourself. And sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together."
