No Sunlight

When I was young Lying in the grass I felt so safe In a warming bath Of sunlight, of sunlight The vast open sky Could do no harm Like an embrace Of a mother's arms In sunlight, in sunlight In sunlight, in sunlight With every year That came to pass More clouds appeared 'Til the sky went black And there was no sunlight, no sunlight And there was no sunlight, no sunlight anymore And it disappeared at the same speed As the idealistic things I believed When the optimist died inside of me No sunlight, no sunlight No sunlight, no sunlight It disappeared at the same speed As the idealistic things I believed When the optimist died inside of me No sunlight, no sunlight No sunlight, no sunlight No sunlight, no sunlight No sunlight, no sunlight No sunlight anymore
