And it seems like my soul
Had been searching for years
And the years became cold
And the eons bred tears
And the atoms exploded
Like breaking a mirror
Splitting over
And over again

Reaching out through all time
For a body to be in
For solace and life
And somebody to free it
Just falling and fighting
For someone to be with
Not knowing
Quite where, how, or when

When a light started shining
Way out in the distance
Incredible timing
And weathered persistence
In front, now behind
In its playful resistance
My soul dared
To reach out and pray

But the light was so much
It was brighter and free
And it hurt just to touch
It was fire to see
My soul burned and it suffered
But came to believe
It could not
Let the light fade away

So my soul tried to grab it
A thief as it passed
Tried to hold it and have it
The light was too fast
And it broke into fragments
And fragments don’t last
No, they can’t
Hold together in space

It was then, only then
In the ether of black
As my soul spun around
And it turned to look back
In that frozen split-second
That stretched til it cracked
That it saw
All the light had not gone

No, a piece stayed behind
It was frazzled and rough
But it served to remind
Just enough, just enough
That our fragment of time
Spent together had love
And our love
Gave us strength to go on

The light doesn’t have to
Be with us forever
We’re just as good separate
As we are together
As long as we love
And we dare to remember
There always comes
Light with the dawn

Their light doesn’t have to
Stay with us forever
We get to move on
And we get to be better
We learn from the time
That we all had together
There ALWAYS
Comes light with the dawn
