Shining Through the Unknown

I'd stare up into the sky
Searching for a place to rest
A place that I could call mine
I'd walk around this empty street
No one else around
The loneliness was bittersweet
My heart was with no sound
I had no idea of who I was
No clue where I belonged
But then one day my life became a buzz
When life seemed fine
When life was pure and divine
Not knowing wrong from right
But it was on this fateful day
That I saw this shining light
When we were all in line
To find our way to the sun
We were too young to realize
That everything had just begun
Our dreams of better days and chances
Brightened by each new advance
The future seemed so sure
I wanted a life of ease
But my fortunes had longed departed and gone to the seas
So I left my homeland and sailed away from the shore
To find myself a place that I could call my own
With the waves coming in washing away all my pain
I'll find a brave new world, no fear I won't contain
There were no broken ties
No sadness or hardships to feel
In this perfect, sweet time we dwelled
But all of that soon changed, you see
Life can take a turn so quickly
Once upon a time we were free
When we were all in line
To find our way to the sun
We were too young to realize
That everything had just begun
Our dreams of better days and chances
Brightened by each new advance
The future seemed so sure
Though our path led to giant highs
We encountered our own demise
When hopes and dreams cast shadows on dawn
The future became so uncertain, we felt so gone
But when it felt there was no hope in sight
We kept believing and filled with might
Gathered all of our courage and strength inside
To turn the darkness into light
Now here we stand strong and free
Our dreams cometh reality
We were just kids in the dream of youth
Eyes closed but alive
Running through our nights
A life that felt like pure delight
And it was
