Soon
Soon, I will be a brighter version of who I have always been.
I will live in a lighthouse, blazing moonshine across the dark sea.
Soon, I will return all the love mother nature has shown to me.
By respecting its unwritten constitution of freedom, peace and tranquillity.
Soon, all my friends will shine brightly, as they step into who they are meant to be.
And they too will return their memories and gifts to our spinning earth, and to the sea,
In wishes, in dreams, in what we achieve,
Soon, we will all emerge, as who we are meant to be...
I will live in a lighthouse, blazing moonshine across the dark sea.
Soon, I will return all the love mother nature has shown to me.
By respecting its unwritten constitution of freedom, peace and tranquillity.
Soon, all my friends will shine brightly, as they step into who they are meant to be.
And they too will return their memories and gifts to our spinning earth, and to the sea,
In wishes, in dreams, in what we achieve,
Soon, we will all emerge, as who we are meant to be...
