Grow Back The Sun

I opened my eyes and darkness closed them

I opened my soul and my soul was dim

Who turned off the lights?

I've drowned in the screams and blood of fights

And my heart rode on the back

Of butterflies ten thousand and black

Until off their backs it went on falling

In the sound of a fate that has been calling

What do you see that I can not see?

How can the fall ever set me free?

I believe, Dear god, I do believe

That faith can only truth conceive

Because I believe, so I do perceive

That my love will only love receive

I will allow the fall to carry me deeper

To find my own heart, and finder's keeper

And once I do, like a shooting arrow

I'll shoot it high in twisted paths and narrow

From the oceans of dark water and debris

It will burst into the sky, strong and free

And be it dark or hollow up in the sky

My passion will keep it running high

Up in space, who turned on the lights?

My soul floats around me wide and bright

I saw you loading your gun cold as stone

I saw you shooting my heart off its throne

But the star you shot from your violent gun

Has finally helped me grow back the sun

Go forth, my phoenix, the legacy has just begun

Now watch me grow back ten thousand suns.
