When the dawn will come,
When the sun will breathe life into these lungs,
I will stand outside,
Let you lead me into infinite signs.
Of laughter,
Of these city lights,
Hold your hand as you pace the pavement,
Fleet and quick to realize,
That I'm trailing behind,
The weightless power in your eyes.
We're seated by the bank,
Where the water runs shallow with our bodies in the sand,
The trees that surround,
Have incisions on their bark that tell the sound.
Of laughter,
Of these city lights,
Hold your hand as you pace the pavement,
Fleet and quick to realize,
That I'm trailing behind,
The weightless power in your eyes.
