I can't remember the last time I felt the sunlight kissed my cheeks Feel the wind whisper in my ears Breathe sweet fresh air in my lungs Bask in the glory of the sunlight And feel its warmth and light Its rays that nurtures my life And its warmth caressing my soul
I've been caged and left alone Imprisoned in the cold depression Left hopeless and chained to anxieties To wallow in loneliness detached from reality The weight of sadness impossible to bear The isolation eating away all my sanity Save me from this dreaded fate Remove my curse and free me
Looking far out from this cell Into the horizon beyond my reach There you were, a small drop of sunlight Glistening in the meadows Prancing happily through the hills As carefree as the howling winds A bright and cheerful light Which made me felt at ease
Every day you passed by Unknowingly shining your rays on me Infecting me with your jolly personality Bringing hope to the hopeless me Every day you set as well Leaving me to the freezing night But even the cold punishing winds Can't take away the warm hope you left me with
It gave me the courage to take a leap Break all my chains and destroy my walls To stand up at the highest point of this life And let gravity take hold of me completely As I start to take that once in a lifetime chance To fly to you and reach the heaven where you reside Armed only with mustered up courage And strengthened will
Heartbeats racing wildly Reaching for that warm, bright place The place beside your presence Hidden in that highest heaven But as I got too close Both courage and will melted away And instead of falling in your arms I plunged back to that unforgiving reality
I guess I'm never meant for the warmth That only emanates from your soul I guess I tempted the Fates too much They had to cut that thread which led to you And as I plunged hard into the sea of despair I could only look at you from afar While I sink back to this morbid reality That I shouldn't want what I could never have.
