Yearning For Yellow

Gray buildings Gray skies Gray city That’s what we see 5 days a week Our time is spent In offices Pushing paper We’re in need of some relief The sun is the one Who should hang in the sky No more gloominess Yellow light, hear our cry We’re Yearning for Yellow To shine all around Envelope us - surround Casting its hue like a golden net To brighten our lives Let yellow light abound Rain Thundering Dark, black clouds Will these dreary shadows ever fade? We need Radiance Filling us up For amber light I would surely trade The sun is the one Who should hang in the sky No more gloominess Yellow light, hear our cry Luminosity, everything’s revealed Joy everywhere, no longer concealed We’re Yearning for Yellow To shine all around Envelope us - surround Casting its hue like a golden net To brighten our lives Let yellow light abound For Samil Al-Khalil's "Small Cage Big Bird" contest
