The Light

The light was shining in my eyes
Before I closed them
And all the dreams I had
The night before came back
The faces that I'd seen
Looked so familiar
But they're just strangers
I haven't met them yet
I know the morning is wiser than the evening
I know that wrong and right can sometimes look the same
So many things I know, but they don't help me
Each day I open up my eyes and start again
The light comes shining in my eyes...
So many stories
I want to tell you
I wished that I could show you
The many things I've seen
You and your daddy
You both look like poets
Your eyes are open wide
While you are in a dream
I know the morning is wiser than the nighttime
I know there's nothing wrong, I shouldn't feel so down
So many things I know, but they don't help me
Each day I open up my eyes to look around
The sun comes shining in my eyes...
...are closed now
Count the stars inside your mind
Count the breaths, count heartbeats
Count the sounds of life
The light was shining in my eyes
Before I closed them
And all the dreams I had
The night before were gone
The faces that I'd seen
Looked so familiar
But I forgot them all
When I saw the sun
I know the morning is wiser than the evening
I know that all of life just happens in between
So many things I know, but they don't help me
Each day I open up my eyes, then it begins
The light comes shining in my eyes...
The light...
