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
