Another day gone by
And what have I to show?
Struggling through each moment
Hoping the pain wont flow

A cheerful mask my only alibi
When all have gone
With the doors locked
The mask comes off

The smile fades
The laughter dies
The weight comes crashing down
And no one can ever know

I sit alone
True feelings exposed
Trying to hold the flood
A battle made to be lost

The fading light
Filled with beauty and sorrow
Clashing colors dance
Fighting to remain alive
Filling those who watch
With awe and reverence

All the colors of the world
Blending together, becoming one
The light flickers and dies
The remaining few muddle on

All but one
Waiting for the light
The beauty
The sorrow

Waiting for something so ordinary
Yet so undeniably extraordinary
Waiting for the next sunset
And all the beauty of the world

Can you see the beauty,
Everywhere around you?
Can you see through the haze
Cast by civilization

Empires fall and die
Cities crumble
Yet nature always survives
Its true beauty waiting to be found

A leaf falling from a tree
A kitten taking its first steps
A shooting star flying across the night sky
A sunset made for two

Can you see the beauty?
From a blade of grass
To a towering mountain
Look past the skyscrapers
See the sky itself
And bask in its beauty
