Into the night I wander.

Lost, alone, deprived.

I need human compassion.

Darkness hides the tears I've cried.

Listen as the wind blows.

It's overwhelming to me.

Nature works its hardest

even here in this big city.

I walk, not knowing where I go.

I see the faces of strangers.

All alone in a city of millions.

Forced to hide my fears.

Sworn to do my duty.

I wonder what that means....

Here in the darkness,

nothing's what it seems.

A wolf is my companion.

I have no love of my own.

I see the ghost of my father.

I'm too far from home.

How can I get out?

I've got too many problems to juggle.

Is there love out there? What's the point of it all?

This is my struggle.
