Take away the darkness from my soul
Let my inner self see light
Remove the shades of dull within
Make all my colours bright

Don’t leave the gloomy side behind
It’s been there for a while
Help me handle happiness
See things which make me smile

Extract the morbid memories
They pull my heartstrings tight
Implant a seed of joyful tunes
To hear both day and night

Melt the icy coldness
Like torrents let it flow
Leave warmth that I can handle
To help when cold winds blow

Remove the indecision’s
Let choices made be bold
These gifts would be my treasure
Worth more to me than gold
