Forgive Durden - Life Is Looking Up lyrics

Ahrima Could this be the day I have waited for When all my hard work doesn't go ignored? Maybe she was right, they will realize I can change the world, open up their eyes They know I am more than some eager blood Not some average bones, I believe in love I just want to prove I deserve this gift I will change this world, baby this is it I can see it now, all the colors smear Up and down the page, but the shapes are there I will build the lamps in this reverie Then they'll understand this was meant for me This is my fate I can almost hear them say Let the lamps shine! Let them burn so bright! Open all our eyes, shower us in light! Let the lamps shine! Let them burn so bright! Set the sky ablaze Fill the night with paint Smother all the shade Flood it through my blood Breathe it through my lungs Give us all your love! They know I am more than some eager blood Not some average bones, I believe in love I just want to prove I deserve this gift I will change this world, baby this is it I can see it now floating like a dream Right above my head, Perfect symmetry Lines in harmony, I can see his face, When he sees the lamps, I can hear him say Let the lamps shine! Let them burn so bright! Open all our eyes, shower us in light! Let the lamps shine! Let them burn so bright! Set the sky ablaze Fill the night with paint Smother all the shade Flood it through my blood Breathe it through my lungs Give us all your love! Dream with your eyes closed Try and pluck the pearls from your bones All the plans pirouette right through my mind become set The lines become definite, glowing hues fill this vignette Tall and proud, the lamps will stand built from these two very hands No one will be able to deny my sk**, nor love for you Dream with your eyes closed Try and pluck the pearls from your bones You dream with your eyes closed Try and pluck the pearls from your bones, oh Let the lamps shine! Open all our eyes, shower us in light! Let the lamps shine! Let them burn so bright! Set the sky ablaze Fill the night with paint Smother all the shade Flood it through my blood Breathe it through my lungs Give us all your love! You can't change me You can't have me Narrator The vision of the world had been realized But the sculpture of the Earth was looked upon by jealous eyes Ahrima refused to relent, he demanded to be heard "Let my unique deft hands be known!" he a**erted But even this brash avowal was met in return by no mouthful O simply just smiled So, defeated and galled, Ahrima headed for the darkness No one seemed to understand. Only the shadows would hearken He sat in peace, but on his shoulder, at rest Perched a dinky, brownish spider, named Barayas
