I was sitting there quietly when
Suddenly all of the clouds cleared up
In an instant I felt as if I had experienced ecstasy
It was lovely, it was sweet
I had always been waiting for this moment
I always put too much effort in trying to grasp it
And therefore I lost sight of it almost as soon as I found it
Maybe I’m delusional
Just because the sky cleared up,
It doesn't mean that there will be sunshine
I was prepared to feel the warm rays on my face
But after a glimpse, they left me in my solitude
It showed in my face and it showed in my appetite
Everyone could see my discontent
My mother didn't hesitate to point it out
I guess I wasn't made to feel content
I wasn't meant to have crazy, wondrous joy
Look me in the eyes
And say “You’ll be okay.”
Instead it kicked me in the face
And cried “You fool! You crazy fool!”
Then it dawned on me how overrated the sun was
And it occurred to me that the stars are just as beautiful
