There's always been a veil in my eyes
Something blocking all the light, here all this time
But I've been longing for someone to open it, so that I finally could see the sky
The more that I prayed, the more I wished
The more the darkness came and enveloped me
But even if I lived in someone's shadow, I knew that at least I was existing
The sun kept on rising and falling again
We're born and then we live, and then we die
I couldn't find a meaning or understand
All of the thoughts running in my mind
Like going through the motions of a rag that's wiping floors in circles, again, again
Pretending to try and fulfill its duty
I take a breath, inhaling all the dust around
And start to cough as my tears start to pour again
But even so, there's still a little part of me that's forever searching, looking for love
I'm lost in reverie while awake, and every night, dreaming endlessly
Here, in between what's real and fantasy
I'm clinging on, holding tightly as my feet are dangling in the air
As the wind blows again, I'll find myself swept along in the current
And as my sweat and my tears keep falling
Eventually they're as small as salt flying in the air
Every step I take with my old shoes
Gathers more mud and more dirt, weighing down my soles
But I'll keep on walking with them on, forevermore
Because of you, because I finally see the light, so bright
You shined, illuminating through the dark to show tomorrow
I'm lost in reverie while awake, and every night, dreaming endlessly
Here, in between what's real and fantasy
I'm clinging on, holding tightly as my feet are dangling in the air
As the wind blows again, I'll find myself swept along in the current
And as my sweat and my tears keep falling
Eventually they're as small as salt flying in the air
I found my love, my light
So I found the meaning of life
