Laced Sunlight

Verse 1
The wrongs of my past Fuel the dream of right now
The pain does not last Becomes part of the vow
To dance in the current To wallow in joy
In the beauty of the present Won’t let it be destroyed

Verse 2
The days in between My joy and my sorrow
I’m part of the machine Cursed by tomorrow
I draw a deep breath Exhale with a start
A symbolic death buried in my heart

(Chorus)
Laced in pure sunlight Shadowed by the stars
Resting in the twilight Strengthened (by my scars)
The echo of a voice Cannot hold me in chains
It is my own choice To take hold of the reigns

Verse 3
I chase away the demons That reside in my mind
They take me to seasons Of a long ago time
When hurt bred more hurt And I let you slip away
But that is not the tale That we’re telling today.

Verse 4
We turn toward each other Rekindle that spark
That brought us together Completing the arch
So now in this moment I choose to love you
And it gets better when you love me too.

Verse 5
We will ride these wild horses To the battles we’ll embrace
Learn to trust each other and give endless grace.
Wake every morning With your arm on my waist
Choose to love each other In pure sunlight laced.
