Happiness at Last


You are someone new, someone who hasn't been tainted by my memories Yet with you, my soul feels free. I can see you have a heart If I knocked, would you invite me in? You are like the reflection I see everyday in the mirror Yet with you, I see myself clearer I start to call out to you, but the echos are pointing out imperfections of me I outstretch my hands, but you I can't reach! You are as special as the stars, yet just as far away So I give in and let the voices drag me away But what is this I see? It looks like YOU are calling ME I crawl a little closer, as far as I dare go It's as though I am at the edge of a deep, dark pool If I go any further I might sink in And be swallowed whole by a shark of my own imagination I let out a cry of desperation, but there was no need! You swooped in and swept me off my feet! And suddenly the dark ocean is gone And I instantly burst into song This song isn't like anything you'd see on t.v. It's more of like how you were made for me! And happiness at last I found When in the sound of my alarm clock, I drowned!
