lyrics

If there seems like no tomorrows
Dig past pain, undo sorrow
Let go, keep not in
What needs to dry

Life experience can shake you
Even when it decides to break you
Broken hearts mend stronger every time

There will be joy
There will be clouds
Who hover for too long
But somehow showers
Wash away the pain
We feel inside

Turn not back the pages of time
Where you are, you’re doing fine
Even if you feel that you are lost all alone

And this illusion can be a cunning fox
Who can bring you a star then morning frost
Upon a warmth you began to feel too safe

And in one moment it can change
All that you thought you knew re-arranged
There’s something bigger here than your will

Freedom can find you anytime
You’ve locked yourself from the world
Behind the door the key hangs in your heart

You’ve traveled so far in this world all alone
No more fuel to warm this cold soul
Let someone love you for who you are

Be gentle with the darkness
And it will only lead you to brighter days and nights
Will fill with flowered fields
