but found more questions.
I searched for freedom
and found more chains.
I searched for happiness
and found more sadness.
I searched for love
and found more pain.

I will hold you up. I will get you through.
Listen to me, I'll tell you what to do."

I said, "Who are you? I don't know you."

Then I said, "It's me!"

It wasn't a complete
