What's Left Of The Sun - Open Eyes lyrics

These blocks bring back memories Of the very gravel on the streets Where a thousand dreams were born And shattered at young feet The feeling in the air here takes me on a solemn trip to my youth Old paths to new meadows The winds of misfortune are still screaming in my ears As autumn leaves tuck the wet asphalt and streets start to hibernate The cold draws in and the rain hits like nails driving into my skull As I stare at the future It's looking so bleak but there's a hint of a feeling And so the spirit grows When I needed it the most The seasons started a motion Climate started to thaw The river flowed out into the ocean The cloud ran out of tears As spring turned into summer The leaves found their true colors Streets awakened from their slumber It was the nudge that I needed To keep my feet from shaking To endure this endless weather And to keep my eyes from mistaking A clearing in the forest Or was it an illusion? I stumbled weary and malnourished to the midst of my confusion To the eye of my storm Where my head found peace And I grew strong enough to carry the weight of the world Kicked out of the nest to stand alone on trembling legs, dispatched Courage is the stair all our virtues climb on to, at last
