my everything

the path was steep
the way was hard
the stars all seemed too far
i closed my eyes
so i couldn't see
what i was missing
... beyond my reach

as i held on
held on to a hand
a hand i didn't even know how to hold
but still... i held on

and in the face of fame
i chose anonimity
in the face of riches
i chose poverty
in the face of love
i chose loneliness
i turned my back
... in the face of success

no one could fathom the doors that i've closed
yet no one sees what my heart knows

i find my riches in her hugs
i have my fame in her eyes
when she holds my hand
... i know my purpose
her touch, her smile
... is comfort enough

i have not lost a thing
coz in my arms...
i have her
i have
... my everything
