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!
