Was Held Captive Until I Moved On

The wind kept blowing and I don’t know why
The sun forever glowing – that, I can’t deny
The moon left for a while, for a little while
Just smile away sorrow's style and leave it in the pile
All you have to do is smile
And run that extra mile

The frozen, flowing snowflakes fell down
She collided into the embrace of pale white ice
The soundless slumber was upon the town
Somebody told me life has an aftermath price
An aftermath price…more or less…

Please tell me it’s gonna be a sunny day
It rings a billion bells that you’re gone today
Remember that It’s never too late to believe
Relieve the hopeless state of mine and don’t grieve
Smile away the grief you feel daily
Trial after trial, we embrace liberty

Save me from oblivion's captivity inside
Give me bravery to move on once more
Subside from my side and let zeal abide
Happiness lives in me now somehow
Like an adequate key to the front door
There’s more eternal encouragement in store

The frozen, flowing snowflakes fell down
She collided into the embrace of pale white ice
The soundless slumber was upon the town
Somebody told me life has an aftermath price
An aftermath price…how can we make progress? 

Please tell me it’s gonna be a sunny day
It rings a billion bells that you’re gone today
Remember that It’s never too late to believe
Relieve the hopeless state of mine and don’t grieve
You have a few phone numbers to dial
Or you can stay here with me for a while

Let your dreams take flight
You’re gonna be alright tonight
Hold me up with all your might
Shameless sunshine is beyond sight
She collided into the embrace of pale white ice
Somebody told me life has an aftermath price
We are like bewildered, maze-worthy mice
Someone also told me to break the ice, the ice
And roll life's dice or I'll end up a living sacrifice

All you have to do is smile
And run that extra mile
I call shotgun for a while
Please tell me it’s gonna be a sweet, sunny day
Save me from oblivion's captivity inside, I pray 
God is truly all-knowing
The wind kept blowing
The sun forever glowing
