Maybe inside the cleansing fires
I'll find a way out of the misery
That surrounds us all today
Maybe all is not yet lost
Maybe there's still some hope
Maybe there's a wise guide up higher
Who'll point me out my missteps
And prepare me for the way
Maybe I'll find a torch
Maybe I'll retrace the slopes
Maybe other travelers in the past
Have left telltale signs along the path
I'll leave some as well on the way
Maybe they'll help someone else
Maybe then I'll not lose hope
Maybe soon, as I rest, someone
Will follow my signs and reach me
We'll spread the light with our torches
Maybe all is not yet lost
Maybe there's still some hope
