Lesser Light

The reality is that I find the truly meaningful things are that Which when I close my eyes do not go away There is a light in your eyes and your heart that braces me against any incoming storm Like in my dreams and memories it's still there even if only halfway remembered It lives in the back of my mind As I struggle to give voice to words I cannot find There's a light in your eyes That should help me find my way When I'm lost and alone, no direction or hope The clouds block the stars and my compass is broke Just trying not to make the same mistakes I always make I'm afraid I won't be there when you need me But there's a light in your eyes That should help me find my way When I'm lost and alone, and my passion is gone It's always the softest voice that finally reigns me in All of the worry and heartache will end, the future and past will blend That spiral starts to slow and my vision is clear again The mountains will one day be gone and the oceans will all be dry The world will not know my name, even the Sun has to die Even the Sun has to die But there's something that makes me stay A feeling I can't explain. It leaves me to live in both a joyous and sad kind of way Though everything else gets replaced, my feelings will never change Next to the light in your eyes, even the Sun has to die
