Oh, to reach the sun
So bright and ominous
Yet still giving life to those helpless and in need of warmth

The sun, so far away,
Yet so close
So that his warmth can be felt just past the tip of my fingers

Is he lonely out there?
Alone in the sky,
And does he yearn for the eclipse as I do?

How much longer can the moon wait,
Illuminating the night?
When will i run out of light to give when nothing can give it back?

But the sun would quench that thirst for light,
The hunger for something more
Im desperate for the sun to do what only he can do

But if the eclipse takes too much longer
I’m sure I’ll disintegrate
Because every night drains more of my light and before too long it’ll all be gone

I have to hold on to my last drop of light
I have to be able to make it there
To finally feel the heat
And let the flames devour me and make me whole again

A lifetime I’ve been waiting
And a lifetime more I will
If only my light will last
Because there’s nothing else I live for

I have no other reason to rise at night,
I have no other purpose to continue
And no other motivation to exist
I hold on for the sun

And I will continue to hold on
Grasping at every last ray of light
Until I can no more
Until the last spark, just to to see the sun.
