Open Eyes

What's Left of the Sun

 The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com

These blocks bring back memories 
of the very gravel on the streets 
where a thousand dreams were born 
and shattered at young feet 

The feeling in the air here takes me on a solemn trip to my youth

Old paths to new meadows 
The winds of misfortune are still screaming in my ears 
As autumn leaves tuck the wet asphalt and streets start to hibernate 
The cold draws in and the rain hits like nails driving into my skull 
As I stare at the future 
It's looking so bleak but there's a hint of a feeling 
and so the spirit grows 

When I needed it the most 
the seasons started a motion 
climate started to thaw 
the river flowed out into the ocean 
The cloud ran out of tears 
as spring turned into summer 
the leaves found their true colors, 
streets awakened from their slumber 

It was the nudge that I needed 
to keep my feet from shaking 
to endure this endless weather 
and to keep my eyes from mistaking 
a clearing in the forest, 
or was it an illusion? 
I stumbled weary and malnourished to the midst of my confusion 

To the eye of my storm 
Where my head found peace 
And I grew strong enough to carry the weight of the world 

Kicked out of the nest to stand alone on trembling legs, dispatched 
Courage is the stair all our virtues climb on to, at last
