I am a child of rain and fire Born from the blight, bound by a birthright Buried in the centuries of dust and daylight I am the daughter of a woman Who shone brighter than the sun She gave me her chain, told me to run Not one day passes where I don't say her a prayer In every stream, I see my home In every dream I dream, I roam Beneath the sky, everything I've known Is doomed die, while I wander on When all is gone In shadow since the world was shattered The lands are in decay In the ruins you know better Than hope anything will stay but I dared to love, to love another held tight to all that I held dear I always knew she'd disappear Everywhere, every mile In every shadow, her smile I still bear every trial in this barren exile In every stream, I see my home In every dream I dream, I roam Beneath the sky, everything I've known Is doomed die, while I wander on When all is gone I go on, I go on, there's more road ahead Nothing left, nothing left, nothing left for dead Not until, not until all is done and said I defy, I defy, till I bleed out red I go on, I go on, there's more road ahead Nothing left, nothing left, nothing left for dead Not until, not until all is done and said I defy, I defy, till I bleed out red In every stream, I see my home In every dream I dream, I roam Beneath the sky, everything I've known Is doomed die, while I wander on When all is gone (Till I bleed out red) In every stream (I go on, I go on, there's more road ahead) I see my home (Nothing left, nothing left, nothing left for dead) In every dream (Not until, not until all is done and said) I dream, I roam (I defy, I defy, till I bleed out red) Beneath the sky (I go on, I go on, there's more road ahead) Everything I've known (Nothing left, nothing left, nothing left for dead) Is doomed die, while I wander on (Not until, not until all is done and said) When all is gone

For years and years I yearned for the sea I felt the world was turning around me Through cracks and tears I peered at its glory And dreamed, and cried, free me! Free me! Free me! For years and years I yearned to be free I knew the world was changing beyond me And I was disappearing, if only Someone would just hear me! Hear me! Hear me! [Distorted vocal] For years and years, I drowned in the sea I felt the waters turning upon me She thrashed, I steered, we tangled and slowly Our colours ran, mixing permanently In tears, in fears, I drowned her and she Became my world, my life and my story And I was disappearing, if only Someone would just, hear me, hear me, hear me For years and years I yearned for the sea I felt the world was turning around me Through cracks and tears I peered at its glory And dreamed, and cried, free me, free me, free me For years and years I yearned to be free I knew the world was changing beyond me And I was disappearing, if only Someone would just hear me, hear me, hear me For years and years I drowned in the sea Till you reached out and dragged me to safety Beyond the stars, their light burning softly When will someone hear me, hear me, hear me For years and years I yearned to be free I will not let her hate take it from me I live, and I refuse to be sorry And no one can take me, make me, break me

You Are You 04:04
You're a blessing, you are you You are someone's light You're a wish that someone had each time they cried You're an angel, you're the sky You're the joy that you deny And there's nothing, nothing that can change that now You're a blessing, you are you You are someone's light You're a wish that someone had each time they cried You're an angel, you're the sky You're the joy that you deny And there's nothing, nothing that can change that now I watch you walk without a light Hopeless, lost, tangled in the night Can it be someone rained on your show Hate can be sharp as a knife I know But tell me why do you turn away And tell me who left these scars You say your sky is dark and dead But in your eyes I see the stars You're a blessing, you are you You are someone's light You're a wish that someone had each time they cried You're an angel, you're the sky You're the joy that you deny And there's nothing truer, don't you know? You're not nothing, you are you Let them tell their lies This world you are the world in someone's eyes Don't you say it's not deserved You're the axis of their love And there's nothing nothing that can that now There may be questions that no one can answer And there may be pain you don't understand But you'll survive if you trust in the joy That you haven't known Don't say you are nothing, I would give the world for you You may be flawed but you're no mistake Take a deep breath till there's no sorrow left And look up above, it's the sky you love Can't you see your starlight? My dear, please be my light Oh, my dear, it's still the night Don't think you are any less than wonderful You're a blessing, you are you (My dear) You are someone's light (Please be my light) You're a wish that someone had (Oh, my dear) Each time they cried (It's still the night) you're an angel, you're the sky (Don't think you) you're the joy that you deny (Are any less) and there's nothing nothing that can change that (Than wonderful) Angel, you're my sky let them tell their lies In this world you are the world in someone's eyes Don't you say it's not deserved You're the axis of my love And there's nothing nothing that can change my mind

I'm not that strong, but I'll fight I belong at her side When the darkness starts to stir She's so much more While I live, I am sure I would give my very life for her 'Cause She's the axis of my world She's the banner I unfurl I shall raise it for the eyes of the world to see You could take all that I own I don't need it now I've known A love like the sea 'Cause She's the axis of my world She's the springtime of my soul Flowers bloom beneath the skies through the centuries You could take all that I own I don't need it now I've known Her love for me

I've forgotten her face I don't remember her voice at all What is she to me, anyway Why should I care that I don't recall So all my pride was misplaced How could I have been so blind What use is a memorial in your mind Walls break, windows crack Trees die, and don't grow back If you wait, the leaves will all turn black And she also forgot me At last the whole truth has come to light It was all just a gambit A surrender and not a fight For all these years, she bore my weight For love, for hate, she tolerated me "Just wait for me," she'd say to me, "Just wait" Until she left that night That endless night Walls break, windows crack Trees die and don't grow back If you wait, the leaves will all turn black Don't you know Overgrown houses fall All they've known, no trace at all A bird sends up its mourning call alone I've always known how to make things But not how to break them I don't know how to take it When they can't be repaired I've always known she's gone, She's gone, she's gone, she's gone She never cared Who am I, who was I, to you, my mother Answer me Walls break, windows crack Trees die and don't grow back Suddenly, everything goes black Songs end, seeds decay You can't pretend the grief away Oh, if I could send a reply with the things I'd like to say I'd say I'm sorry that I wasted my childhood away But you're not here, and you can't watch me Destroy this memorial today

Year in, year out Learn to live without, oh What stays, what's true Seasons pull me from you 'Cause I'm moving, you knew it Years fearing this minute A planet, a comet I break from your orbit I take my heart and fold it Move out to the cold Out of your city Out of your world By the time I see you Will I still know your face By the time we meet Amid the stardust and space I would rather be About any other place That is closer One of these years One of these days Year in, year out What do we even talk about, oh The heat, the moon The sound of birds in the afternoon 'Cause Three autumns, three winters Of stories in letters Three springs and three summers Lose track of the numbers Where's the line When do I Pass the point When should I say goodbye? 'Cause By the time I see you Will I still know your face By the time we meet Amid the stardust and space I would rather be About any other place That is closer One of these days 'Cause By the time I see you Will I still know your face (still know your face) By the time we meet Amid the stardust and space (stardust and space) I would rather be About any other place (any other place) That is closer One of these years One of these days Year in, year out Learn to live without, oh What stays, what's true Seasons pull me from you
