 LYRICS
**********
Let I
Shy cry
Under the light
Let I
Cry sight
A child at night

I can
Have courage
To receive your love
I can
Step steps
Follow my blind

Inside
My self
The secret grows
My own
Shelter
Agony goes
The crying light

I was born to adore you
As a baby in the blind
I was born to represent you
To carry your head into the sun
To carve you face into the back of the sun
The crying light
