Catching the heavens again
Reaching so far I feel I may break in half
Brushing away the fears of this darkness
Its only a minute yet to pass

I'm all right; I'm all right
Even if the shadows consume me
I'm all right; I'm all right
Even though you're too far away to reach

I've given away so much
And still they hunger for more
Memories best forgotten in what we were
Like a bird without wings who dreams to soar

I'm all right; I'm all right
Even if the sun burns my lips
I'm all right; I'm all right
Even if I smile without ever feeling your kiss

The sun's setting against the tides
Washing these hands that held you close
Like promises that will never be
And hope that only shatters like petals from a rose

I'm all right; I'm all right
Even if the pain's still here
I'm all right; I'm all right
Even if we live our lives in fear

Sleep some more and close your eyes
Give up this fight that you believe is worth it
Believe for me, just for a moment, that everyone will be fine
Simplicity's retrospect

"I'm all right"
