What is inside this box?
Is it full of pain and darkness?
Or is it full of light and love?

What is inside this box?
Is there blisters and shatter glass?
Or is there a perfect reflection over a smoothen surface?

What is inside this box?
Is there hate and anger?
or is there peace and happiness?

What is inside this box?
Is it full of wars and destruction?
Or is it full of harmony and construction?

What is inside this box?
