My Nights - for you who are fearful

I can't breathe tonight,
I haven't any power that can help me tonight,
my legs are shivering,
my breath is panting,
my tears run away,
my heart is broken,
the road is narrow tonight in the land of my eyes,
mountains crumble in front of my sadness,
Rain feels shame in front of my tears.
Tonight is any night.
But I haven't any feet or legs to run away from night,
night is mourning with black colours,
Night wears the shame in front of the sadness in my heart.
Oh, tonight is a night the same as all my nights.
Every creature is born in fear
But how can I live if I'm afraid of living
Love is a drop of fresh rain
But how can I love if drought won't break
Oh, tonight is a night the same as all my nights.
