Catch a Feeling

Sitting alone, watching the night
Soaking in the last few minutes of daylight
On the roof, among the trees 
My skin tickled by a warm light breeze
Looking West, feeling blessed 
The pink sky makes the mountains silhouettes
My heart and mind open, bittersweet 
Contemplating all the distant memories

I can hear the laughter echo from another time
It fills my lungs and I breath it out into the sky
I trace the source of all the melodies 
The states of mind that formed the soundtrack of my life

So many dark days have passed by 
But they can’t affect the peace in my mind
So many agonies and tragedies, the worst kind
But it’s the beautiful moments that bring tears to my eyes 

I feel gripped by the evening
The stars lend some perspective to my life
I know this moment of clarity is fleeting 
Forgotten by my mountain of pride

So I’m trying to catch a feeling
It feels like thank you
Like all the different parts of me
Have finally found harmony
I’m trying to catch a feeling
I feel so grateful
Like all the blood I’ve ever shed and bled
Has been cleansed by renewed innocence 
Oh I’m trying to catch a feeling

Walking alone, no one in sight
Along a forest path like a ribbon of moonlight
Late spring, among the trees
My senses filled by aromas from a thousand beautiful things
The silence makes a song where my heart can sing
It fills me until my lungs are bursting
There’s so much peace that I fall to my knees
And weep laughter because this knowing will soon leave me

So many dark days have passed by 
But they can’t affect the peace in my mind
So many agonies and tragedies, the worst kind
But it’s the beautiful moments that bring tears to my eyes 

I feel gripped by the evening
The stars lend some perspective to my life
I know this moment of clarity is fleeting 
Forgotten by my mountain of pride

So I’m trying to catch a feeling
It feels like thank you
Like all the different parts of me
Have finally found harmony
I’m trying to catch a feeling
I feel so grateful
Like all the blood I’ve ever shed and bled
Has been cleansed by renewed innocence 
Oh I’m trying to catch a feeling
