I feel the sun upon my face,
And I'm wondering where is this heavenly place?
Have my dreams come true?
Have I left this world, moved on to?
A sigh of disbelief,
The warmth lets me know I'm free.
I can't open my eyes,
Because that summer sun shines so bright.
I've forgotten all those wasted days,
No longer stuck in a cold dark.
Trying my best to look forward,
To block out the past.
Happiness is here at last.
I pinch my cheek,
I feel the pain.
I feel the drop of that Summer rain.
A distant memory of days gone past.
Days of sadness, days that didn't last.
This is not a dream,
All i feel is real.
The shackles of my past cant hold me down.
The warmth lets me know I'm free.
I can't open my eyes,
Because that summer sun shines so bright.
I've forgotten all those wasted days,
No longer stuck in the cold dark days.
