A Different Sun

A Different Sun If you would take my hand Feel those fingers In safety entwined Trust yourself palm to palm And take with me The first step out Into a different sun I won’t let go I will even hold you Watch out for you As the unwrapping of those blindfolds Fall from the eyes of your soul No I won’t let go If you let me I will lead you Out into a strange new sky And into a different sun I know you feel weak And living so in fear Scared of all the emptiness Of all those hidden cracks Might reappear No; I won’t let go If you let me show you How those wounded and broken wings Can learn to fly again Out into a different sky And under a strange new sun That always shines If you would take my hand I promise I won’t let go Come and stand Strong and proud Reborn again Within the blessings of a different sun No; I won’t let go
