Who has darkness in my light
But still is clouded in my night?
Who has more than near to none?
Who has lost when I have won?

Happy as my days may be,
They are not spent honestly
For in the end, my cries will sound
Washing out the peace I’ve found

Somehow, there must be a way
For both to win and both to stay
Together, praising victory
Against the darkest enemy

When will there be light on light
Stealing nonexistent night
Glory, for we each have won
With battle wounds, near to none
