Filtering out the rain, my finder shooting ‘round each cloud Grabbing stars I guess that you could say when I breathe them a sigh, this night Falls away Drawing out one by one, my finger tracing all those lines Giving them names, bright and newly sewn, I spent my days gazing All alone
Light-years they’ve been waiting, crossing through the galaxy, escaping Why leave me a glow so friendly, one I don't even deserve to get? Wishing the crying and the aching bursting from my eyes would turn to stardust Then…could I flare through the air? Maybe I can be strong
Watching the sun pour out, a sigh that blew the rain away Clear blue sky Already looking down, I know the storm is right behind My cold back They say when stormy days are over, “only clear skies are up ahead!” Your laugh, your small umbrella, and your kindness saved Me from rain
Night and day; they’re leaving, but I could grow although I’m reaching Say I’m in a “glow”? I swear I don’t know how you even see me yet Just like a flare from out of nowhere, shining for a world that really needs you Hey, cant you see you’re the sunlight igniting our lives?
Used to crying, now I’m leaving Thank my old self for believing In a future where I could finally break free Wishing to the stars for so long, but couldn't see
It came true all too soon Light-years and the raining cleared to show a sky so bright, amazing Leading me away, why does my heart sway, painful things I just don't get? Seeing a whole new world of starlight glittering a moon Who’s only sixteen Hey, have I changed for the better? Do you think I’m strong?
