Six Thousand Suns From Yesterday
You have seen three thousand suns
You will witness six thousand more
Feel the warm breeze and your lover's kiss
As the sun sets upon an ancient shore
Place your sweet head upon soft sand
From puzzled dreams answers are spoken
What is fixed beyond sun and stars
By doubters can never be broken
Let the connections beneath your skin
Connect your heart fully with your beautiful mind
The mysteries of love will open your heart
Without love we are nothing but blind
In your dreams you will be surprised
As you listen, answers will be spoken
as you're suspended within vibrant colours
Tomorrow will no longer be broken
You should know you're formed in perfection
You were always meant to be free
Never worry about tomorrow
Doubt and fear are a weak enemy
Float high upon ardent breeze
As you gaze into your lover's eyes
Strength comes from fully giving yourself
Within passion you are lifted up to peaceful skys
Let the tingling convert, until it no longer hurts
Your numbness will lead to gain
Sunshine is pretty and it is pure
yet there is much to be gained from the rain
As each splendid rhyme
builds on your last line
Life will become sweet on your lips like wine
ocean waves coming in, will help you begin
Until sadness and pain become gossamer thin
For dear girl
the ocean awaits
The sunset will accompany your need
You will feel angels weep
Who were lost to the deep
As the sound of true love reaches their ears
As melodies play
your heart begins to race
As your lover feels your lips upon his face
A moment can be
an eternity
Within a pause you find a sacred place
Metallic or not from chains you break free
You're exactly at the place where you need to be
The sweet nectar of love
Raining down from above
A gift so splendid for the world to see
One day soon much later on
You will hear the angels say
"I remember you when, you were so young and free
just six thousand suns from yesterday
Your love took our breath away!"
