The stars shine bright tonight
Above all the city lights
All we see are the barely visible flickers
From way down here

Nevertheless, they are still there
Gloomily hidden behind the urban glare
Burning bright
On a brilliant night
For you I promise, I'll always be there

It's been awhile since you sat next to me
We used to be so content in that we could just be
It was too bad that you never asked me
If I had thought that I could be

(My heart is still longing for you)

Perfectly happy, sitting next to you forever
Because the answer would surprise you
And me too

(My heart is still longing for you)

It was traumatic, though you didn't ask me
If I would miss you when you left me
Because in all honesty, I still really do
Left here wondering
If you feel the same way too

(My heart is still longing for you)

Little figures of purple and of blue
The uniforms cannot hide different places: different faces
Starting friendships, rivalries and thunder races
Personifying love, and energy, and whatever is true

Like the sun, illuminating, burning bright
They move at the speed of light

We are unable to fit them in one flat form
Or to keep them lukewarm.

Even with the uniforms.

This is my idea of freedom:
That in this moment, I am me
I can just be

By a field, surrounded by trees
With the golden beams of sunlight shining through
Each leaf, a different shade of green
Dancing gleefully to the beat of the wind

By the pavement where weeds and wildflowers grow
Creeping through the concrete, dressing the ground
With a million speckles of yellow and white
In their simple grace and little heights

By the feathery cat tails and clovers
Listening to the gentle breeze, the crunch of leaves
With the cool scent of the air and warmth of the sun
A moment of impact, like the sound of a gun

That in this moment I recognise
With absolute clarity I realise
That in this moment, I am me
I can just be
