Do You See the Thread of Light?

I walk across the bridge
And up the cracked old stairs
I've got no illusions, I know
I'm just a baby and

There's some things that you know are
Way to high to reach
But you still want to
Reach up, and!

It seemed like he really knew
What it really meant to be
Great and our eyes were
All on him, but

We got lost inside a nightmare and
My blood just felt cold
But he wasn't scared
Like he should have been, and

Someday I'll conquer all the stars
I'll pull them to my eyes
And see through them
And I'll meet all their children, and

Carol says she heard them
And wrote what they said
Down but he missed it
Because he already left

I want to see the morning
I want to feel the sunlight
And I want to see the stars
When all of this is over
I want to open my heart up to my friends
And tell them I love them

I want to read a book
And I want to draw a picture
I want to play a game
And stay up 'til the morning
And all of the smallest reasons to live, are good enough

I want to see the morning
I want to feel the sunlight
And I want to see the stars
When all of this is over
I want to open my heart up to my friends and tell them I love them

And even the petty reasons to live are good enough

Dust drifts in from the window to the floor
Illuminate against the walls where we once lived
Softly touch the broken music box
For a time when its song would still ease your mind

Chase a light through the haunted streets
For a chance that that your world might still be saved
Promise that you wont lose your way?
But your hand and your heart and your life might change

A flower blooms in cold blood
And I changed, and the world changed
A memory that once was warm
Is now only cold, and I walk away
