You're settling down to drink in your sunset
I am bubbling up to breathe in the morning light

The best of you frolics in your past
I'm stepping, and up, to a future dance

You're grounded to your reality, to your end
I've leaped off my edge, to give flight a chance

Were the world to stop spinning, I'd walk over
And see the world from you point of view

But I cannot cease my march into the Sun
I cannot halt the dew drops upon my face

You crave a sanctuary, a cave behind a waterfall
I brave the wild currents of that river to the sea

I wish both Sun and Moon in my sky to be
But alas that is not the way

So with heavy heart I must depart, but say
Unto you is you and to me is me.

If I could change the world at all,
I'd change it in a heartbeat,

So total darkness could never fall
That dusk and dawn may meet.
