Die Happy

 Die Happy

 
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
