~^~
Looking out from his tower of Despair
He asked himself a question
Wondering if he should venture out there
Was it time, in his life, for a new direction?
When he finally set foot on the outside ground
exploring under the light of the waxing moon
Each footstep he took he soon found
His heart with hope abloom
An arrow of light pierces through
The lingering shadow of Despair
And with now sure footsteps he, at last, knew
As long as he believes in himself, he'll survive anywhere

Looking out from his heart with hope, he believes in himself.
