In a place
I can’t explain
Flooded with love
Still drowning in pain
It doesn’t make sense
But it makes me believe
There’s so much more
Than we can taste, touch, and see
It fills me with hope
And with love and with tears
And it fills me with the sadness
Of a thousand years
My eyes are alive
My heart is free
And I
Can die
Happy
Breathe deep
Attached to no one
Bigger and brighter
Than the moon or the sun
It makes perfect sense
Somewhere inside
But I couldn’t explain it
Even if I tried
It fills me with hope
And with love and with tears
And it fills me with the sadness
Of a thousand years
My eyes are alive
Like the first time
And I
Can die
Happy
You peeled away the pain
And what remains
Are the colors
And the shadows
Of a thousand life-times
