Staring Up at the Sun

I stood up to the Sun
I told him all of the crazy things that he'd done
He shot back with a blazing brilliance
Melting my wings of wax, powerfully expressing his resilience

Stranded on my little island, I stared up to see
The light of my heart started to tremble, everything I knew fading out of me
I thought of all the people, places and things I've loved
I can't loose myself tonight, me being the one you're thinking of

A million feet, I'll keep climbing
Without weight to hold me down, I'll keep on flying
Love and life within my veins
After all, they say, the best love is the kind that keeps on trying

Even if the best of the fields burns down around me
It won't matter, I no longer have to count the stars to be.
"Seek me out, and ye shall find", if I didn't, I would not be that bold.
Me, I'm tired of simply doing as I'm told

Day in and night out, I've been loosing sleep,
Dreaming of the things humanity could be if we weren't sheep.
If doing wrong didn't feel so right
Then every human wouldn't be in such a plight

I'm a little wiser now, from what you've shown me
It's been a long time coming, but my mind is free
I was a lonely soul, but that's the old me
I'm feeling better since you showed me who I can be.
