Some Light


 

If you see me drown alone

See me standing on my own

In a world of complications

I have intricately sown

 

If you hear me in the night

Shedding tears over a loss

Hearing giggles that are long gone

Seeing faces gone across

 

Hold my hand, for you’re a friend

Walk me through until the end

For I might fall if you don’t come

Into the abyss I’d fall

If you don’t help me stand tall

 

Tell me how to turn the past

Into beauty that would last

 

Be the potion that kills the pain

That’s always flown in my very veins

And help me soar

Open my eyes to the rainbow

Hiding in the very rain…
