Staring out my window
at the break of day
sun rising in the distance
not so far away

The dawning of the day
bringing a brand new start
picking up the pieces
of lost and lonely heart

Shattered by the darkness
of a long and sleepless night
where demons come alive
shielding the truth from sight

Light seeps into my soul
in this cold and empty house
urging me ever onward
in troubled times of doubt

Fear not the future, darling
for it’s written in the stars
home is that special place
inside my beloveds heart
