Intermission
Times
like this, when I need to keep the faith
Silence speaks the truth, gust of wind whispers your name
Emptiness a reality, I can feel
It's like standing behind the curtains
Spotlight is waiting to shine before me
If I have learned anything about life
I have learned it from you
Life not only comprises tasks but happiness we pursue
If I was fifteen yesterday and sixty tomorrow
I have nothing to fear even when time stands still
It doesn't matter, I'll walk through this path
Skies could deem, a million dreams to fulfill
My footsteps in caesura, outstretched before me
A perpetual sunrise, a love that echoes you instill.
Silence speaks the truth, gust of wind whispers your name
Emptiness a reality, I can feel
It's like standing behind the curtains
Spotlight is waiting to shine before me
If I have learned anything about life
I have learned it from you
Life not only comprises tasks but happiness we pursue
If I was fifteen yesterday and sixty tomorrow
I have nothing to fear even when time stands still
It doesn't matter, I'll walk through this path
Skies could deem, a million dreams to fulfill
My footsteps in caesura, outstretched before me
A perpetual sunrise, a love that echoes you instill.
