My eyes open at a new day's start.
Out of my bed I hastily dart...
The days with my friends have passed.
I thought it would forever last...
My love is strong
together we belong...
Darkness
Teeming and deep...
Earth is where it all began
Risen from the ground...
My eyes now open to the world all around
My fledgling soul crawls up off the ground...
Wings of salvation carry hope
No longer are we in darkness...
I wander the streets ignoring life.
Ignoring all that gives me pain or strife...
A noble quest
to find what a man yearns...
"Stop laying there and resting your head!
It's time to get up and out of bed!"...
Shield your eyes, oh Apollo
For my brilliance is greater than yours...
A boy, motionless
Sits still in the calm...
