kaleidoscope

Out of slumber

The truth feels like shrapnel on my skin

The brightness of the morning's nowhere to be seen

Oh why? I'm just an ordinary girl

Looking up to the wonders of the world

But why?

Things like sickness and sadness exist?

There are so many things in life I'll miss

I close my eyes to see the kaleidoscope of my memories…

I've loved, I've lied

I've woken up in sorrow from a dream

I've tasted that bitter sweet moment of solidarity

I've hoped, I've cried

I've tried to reach that farfetched moment of peace

The places and faces of dear ones I'd miss

I've feared and longed for that warm serenity…

Wide awake

Fighting the pain and disappointments

Feeling the pressure of reality

Oh why? I'm just an ordinary girl

Looking up to the wonders of the world

But why?

Things like sickness and sadness exist?

There are so many things in life I'll miss

I close my eyes to see the kaleidoscope of my memories…

I've loved, I've lied

I've woken up in sorrow from a dream

I've tasted that bitter sweet moment of solidarity

I've hoped, I've cried

I've tried to reach that farfetched moment of peace

The places and faces of dear ones I'd miss

I've feared and longed for that warm serenity…

Praying for the bright sky

Wondering if heavens would someday answer all the 'why's

Make sense of the heartaches and lies

Maybe then I'll understand, yes I'll understand...

I'm just an ordinary girl, looking at the wonders of the world

But there will come a moment of that bitter sweet solidarity

The price of serenity for you and me

I close my eyes and savor the kaleidoscope of my memories…
