Sunset

Have You Ever Sat in the Evening Sun
And Watched its Scarlet Glow
It Turns the Clouds an Eerie Red
As the Shadows Begin to Grow

The Feeling You Get Is Awesome
But Very Hard to Explain
It's like an Unknown Hand
Has Somehow Eased Your Pain

No One Can Truly Describe 
The Affect a Sunset Can Give
To Each of Us It's Different
And We Look at How We Live

So If You've Missed the Setting Sun
That's Something You Should Change
Because it Is the Greatest
It's Wonderful and Sometimes Strange
