Life Is Looking Up

Could this be the day I have waited for When all my hard work doesn't go ignored? Maybe she was right, they will realize I can change the world, open up their eyes They know I am more than some eager blood Not some average bones, I believe in love I just want to prove I deserve this gift I will change this world, maybe this is it I can see it now, all the colors smear Up and down the page, but the shapes are there I will build the lamps in this reverie Then they'll understand this was meant for me This is my fate I can almost hear 'em say Let the lamps shine (Let 'em burn so bright) Open all our eyes (Shower us in light) Let the lamps shine (Let 'em burn so bright) Set the sky ablaze Fill the night with paint Smother all the shade Flood it through my blood Breathe it through my lungs Give us all your love They know I am more than some eager blood Not some average bones, I believe in love I just want to prove I deserve this gift I will change this world, maybe this is it I can see it now floating like a dream Right above my head Perfect symmetry Lines in harmony I can see his face When he sees the lamps I can hear him say Let the lamps shine (Let 'em burn so bright) Open all our eyes (Shower us in light) Let the lamps shine (Let 'em burn so bright) Set the sky ablaze Fill the night with paint Smother all the shade Flood it through my blood Breathe it through my lungs Give us all your love Dream with your eyes closed Try and pluck the pearls from your bones All the plans pirouette Right through my mind become set The lines become definite Glowing hues fill this vignette Tall and proud, the lamps will stand (Dream with your eyes closed) Built from these two very hands No one will be able to (Try and pluck the pearls) Deny my skill, our love for you (From your bones) Dream with your eyes closed Try and pluck the pearls from your bones, oh! Let the lamps shine Open all our eyes (Shower us in light) Let the lamps shine (Let 'em burn so bright) Set the sky ablaze Fill the night with paint Smother all the shade Flood it through my blood Breathe it through my lungs Give us all your love (You can't change me) (You can't hide me) The vision of the world had been realized But the sculpture of the Earth was looked upon by jealous eyes Ahrima refused to relent, he demanded to be heard "Let my unique deft hands be known!" he asserted But even this brash avowal was met in return by no mouthful (What have you done) O simply just smiled (What's your sound) So, defeated and galled, Ahrima headed for the darkness (Can't change me) No one seemed to understand Only the shadows would hearken (You can't hide me) He sat in peace, but on his shoulder, at rest Perched a dinky, brownish spider, named Barayas
