When I awoke today The gray skies had gone away The orange horizon was kissed by candy-pink clouds I could feel the change in my veins My heart letting go of all the pain that's choked it for far too long I never believed in hope until I saw it in your eyes Now I don't think that I could ever turn away Sadness may last forever, but for you it's worth the endeavor And if the world finds a way to cast your smile astray I'll be here forever To catch you as you fall and keep the dark at bay
