Illumination


We join as one,
We are only one;
We keep our selves high,
I hear the breaths of the others
as we stride though the forest.

We don't stop,
We shall fail if we do,
No one sees us in the shadows,
Only we know who we are
as our hearts shall join.
We never stop,
We are inseparable,
Once we start no wall will stop us.

I stare in to you and you stare back,
but you know me,
You see the dirt that has formed on me,
but you still carry me,
and we won't be separated.
These woods might be huge
but I can never be lost in them.

Keep running,
Run till we lose our enemy!
We run for freedom!
This is our time to trample down
those walls that hold us in.
