The answer



It could be a silver lining
Or the last nail in my coffin
Depends on which way blows the wind
My fate hangs by a thread

A moment I feel ecstatic
Another moment I am cold as stone
Will the fires of hell engulf me
Or the soothing breeze of heavens will embrace me
Depend on which way I am heading
I am riding the chariots of fire

I see you and I am delighted
Or is it a state of delirium
Am I stretching my imagination too far
Or the unexpected has bestowed upon me
Depend on whether you smile or frown
I am hiding behind the shadows

Will I ever see the colors of life
Or It will be snow forever
Depends on words you speak
I will be waiting for the answers forever
