Nowhere near completed Nowhere near knowledge Just a touch better than defeated Still, like the embers of a fire The soul doesn’t die easy A gasping breath above the mire The air is bittersweet A shudder of things past and cautious hope A gentle touch of heat The sun on my skin The world another hue More vibrant than I dared to remember As if feeling all things for the first time I feel I'm taking flight Freedom is on the way

Awakening
Nowhere near completed Nowhere near knowledge Just a touch better than defeated Still, like the embers of a fire The soul doesn’t die easy A gasping breath above the mire The air is bittersweet A shudder of things past and cautious hope A gentle touch of heat The sun on my skin The world another hue More vibrant than I dared to remember As if feeling all things for the first time I feel I'm taking flight Freedom is on the way
