The Light In Goodbye
Since you have a pair of wings,
What about you reach to the clouds
Since you are more royal and fearless than kings,
Do me a favor and snip off my shrouds
Do you have wings that are made of the finest of gold?
Is it better than any priceless jewel out there?
I hear your echoes, loud and clear, but have your beauty been sold?
Is it better if I don't know the answer? You're avoiding the problem like a worrisome hare
Are things working out for you? Give me a response if you dare
I've been spinning around and round and round like a halo
Oh, I heard a familiar song in the distance
In the distance, I see you run out of breath
Out of breath, out of energy and lacking sense
Yet, I’m not alone, neither are you, no longer fearing death
Something leaves me hangin’ on the last string
But, somehow I’m left to drive this road
Alone without your support
Alone without you by my side
Alone without you being my escort
Alone without you…
Here without you shatters my pride
Here without you scatters me wide
Here without you tatters my body and something in me has died
My heart ceased from beating
Why are you walking away?
Why are you leaving today?
Where’s the light in goodbye?
Shying away from reality
Flying away from poverty
Denying reality’s demise
I’m hopelessly singin’ and about to take wing
I’m relieved that you and I have seen the light
The light in goodbye, the light in farewell
The night is approaching, but I’ll hold you tight
Tonight, I’m grateful to know that you are doing so well
Mmm…ooh…mmm… x2
Out of nowhere, your miracles rescued me of course!
You rescued me by your angelic abilities – you are my backbone
You are my backbone that serves as a reliable source
Suddenly, there’s no need to beg for help, for your generosity is shown
I’ve discovered it like priceless gold
You aren’t unknown to me, but you’re bright and bold
Integrity and love dwells with you daily
Your hope and happiness leave me speechless frankly
Why are you shying away?
Why are you making me feel this way?
Where’s the light in goodbye?
You’re trying to tell me something
I hear you calling my name…echoing farewells
You’re dying to see me be a fruitful being
You're blending in with the dreary fog…
You are a distant star
That I put my trust in
I need your faith to forgive my sin
I need your love to build me up from deep within
Deep down inside, I know that my fate will win
My fate of landing in between…
The grass is greener on the other side
My flight turned out to be a deleted scene!
