Waiting For the Sun

Waiting For The Sun There is a fire in me that is too much for this world Smoldering deep in the roots of my soul Flames budding, their blossoms longing to unfurl Up xylem, down phloem, reciprocal control Failure means you tried Would rather you had died not knowing? Successes can be found When you stop, stare at the ground And suddenly you've found By new heights You're still growing Eventually the spring will come Thawing frosts the winter spun Always darkest before the dawn Ever waiting for the sun So count your rings, and stand up straight Brace yourself against the wind Hold you glow and embrace the wait For your time to shine again In the darkness is where you find the light In the silence you can lift the sound to life And every time I find it, it gets brighter And every time I lift it, it gets lighter Why can't you be a lover, and a fighter Jack of all trades, master of none
