Alive and Returned

Stars
Returned on their journey
To the sun

A spark
Alive and electric
Traveling a new path

The sweetness of success
The venture of virtue
A destiny too true to deny

A good intention
Too soon to act upon

Will the clouds hide our future?
Will doubt fool and betray our minds?
Will you look away a second too late?

Or will you deny the truth
That which you lack?

A forgotten design
Unseen
In the sharp light

Returned, he will rise
Alive, he who will fight
To the death

Alive and Returned
They stand among us

Now
Ready to start again
Ready to return what was lost

Ready
To come alive...
