about

A song about change.
Made for Dustcar 6.

lyrics

Lights are shining forever and ever
While the sun and moon revolve around the world
Here inside me is all that I will need, for another day
Another day

I forgot what it’s like to remember
That I don’t know what it means to be alone
Here inside me is all that I have known, and it doesn’t hurt
It doesn’t hurt

Far away the magic in the valleys
And the forest calls my name
Wandering my mind through ancient alleys
Hidden voices sing with pain

Turned my head and now I’m older again
Will I ever dare to call you a friend?
Can I stay a moment longer with you?
How long is a moment meant to be true?

Who’d have thought there was all this potential
That the world outside was waiting all the time
Here and there go the dying and the living, and I’m ready now
I’m ready now

I feel scared and I’m excited
I am nervous and I’m shy
To be cautiously delighted
To move on from asking why

Turned my head and now I’m older again
Will I ever dare to call you a friend?
Can I stay a moment longer with you?
How long is a moment meant to be true?
