Sea of doubts

I told them all the ones I love
I'm leaving and I may not return
See lately I've been overcome
A feeling I fear has just begun

The pain I feel deep inside
That haunts us all that we will die
Never really knowing how it feels
To be alive

Through mountains and over seas
Through misery and disease
A spectator I played my part
But nothing could move this heart

Until I held the boys hand
The little one spoke like a man
He showed me death and said
This is how you know you're alive
