I hear a pitch in the breeze
as the sun falls into the horizon.
The soft light floods my eyes;
I’m dreaming of a place I've never known.
I've got a handful of regrets
and a handful of memories I can't forget,
and, while the past still calls me back,
I know more lies beyond this setting sun.
So where you call me I'll go
if you lead me there and let me know
that this is pain that we'll outgrow
when the new light starts to show.
Sometimes the pain gets in the way,
and we start to let things lose their spark.
Though in darkness we can't see,
we still feel the warmth of the early morning sun.
And where you call us we'll go
if you lead us there and let us know
that this is pain that we'll outgrow
when the new light starts to show.
Where are we to go
when the darkest shade is cast?
Can you give me some direction?
‘Cause I know there's truth
behind the veil that we see,
and I feel it beginning to be
new light.
We gotta move to know we're alive
when living becomes a mere survival.
We soak it in and open our eyes;
still hoping for a hope that never dies.
