On the Otherside

The evening view reflects a part of me Somewhere inside the purple clouds a giant sleeps As I watch them float across a velvet sky Colored by darkness fading into neon light Beyond this horizon is a new sunset As I stand in the day before with old regrets It can feel like Im wearing my own atmosphere With my head way up high above the stratosphere As my fingers trace perfect circles around the moon And like a moth my soul is drawn to You Flying around the annulus of electric blue It's silver lining disconnects my dismal mood Then it electrifies a dormant life Awakening the sleeping giants eyes Once tired from sorrow they fall away like rain Flooding my world with only dreams of escape Now I wander through narrow and winding serpent roads Through flourishing landscapes, valleys, desserts, and groves Only trusting heavens brightest stars to be my compass wheel Driven by my blood and pain, my strength and will In fear I become more than the man that I am Determination gives my life to God and I say Amen I swear one day I will make it through to the other side Beyond this horizon and its pretty neon skies Captivate me by the grace and beauty of a violet sun Leaving my darkness behind where this new day has begun
