Brighter Days

Awakened to heavy silence, no sunrise in sight

Was that just one more dream that passed me by?

Smiling as it waved goodbye "you know how nothing can

last"

Still we crave for brighter days though we still feel

blind

Seems no-one warned us when somehow we'd lose our will

The joys of yesterday still seem a perennial breeze

But could we carry tomorrow's burdens with dignity?

Today, the boundless reach of doubt should set us free

As pilgrims bound to will, our doubt must set us free

Like every fallen star

Must wake just once more

To arise and shine

As it lits the way for the lost

Puppeteered by fate

Or free to our paths

We'll stand and run again

For the ever elusive light.
