The rain has washed the world clean Rinsed each eye of its jaded smog Wrung all disillusion from the leaden clouds And brought back all the jewel colours Birds are calling, bright feathered bells Chiming one to another in poetic response Happiness has broken out in a Waterfall of Sunlight - Look! Oh look... Everything is new. My eyes open like curtains, fluttering I am floating, drifting on cool air currents High, so high above the brilliant world Wish you were here, wish you were here You’d see what I see...how it changes me Tumbles me from Sun to Star to Moon Polishes me with the laughter of children and angels - Like a forgotten wish At last come true. Here, fear becomes a foreign language Bitter doubt is an unknown land The storm has ripped all the pain from the sky I am free at last of yesterday’s darkness Like the rain, if I fall now, I’ll land softly... Curl deep inside the whorled hearts of roses Nestle myself amongst layers of soft crimson velvet - Be safe to rest, and simply be. Moonlight leads the way to tomorrow The world turns peacefully through quiet hours And the Stars keep their Vigil, Guarding all Dreamers.

The Brilliant World
The rain has washed the world clean Rinsed each eye of its jaded smog Wrung all disillusion from the leaden clouds And brought back all the jewel colours Birds are calling, bright feathered bells Chiming one to another in poetic response Happiness has broken out in a Waterfall of Sunlight - Look! Oh look... Everything is new. My eyes open like curtains, fluttering I am floating, drifting on cool air currents High, so high above the brilliant world Wish you were here, wish you were here You’d see what I see...how it changes me Tumbles me from Sun to Star to Moon Polishes me with the laughter of children and angels - Like a forgotten wish At last come true. Here, fear becomes a foreign language Bitter doubt is an unknown land The storm has ripped all the pain from the sky I am free at last of yesterday’s darkness Like the rain, if I fall now, I’ll land softly... Curl deep inside the whorled hearts of roses Nestle myself amongst layers of soft crimson velvet - Be safe to rest, and simply be. Moonlight leads the way to tomorrow The world turns peacefully through quiet hours And the Stars keep their Vigil, Guarding all Dreamers.
