In Another Life, I Might Touch the Sky

In the quiet of a room where time is standing still I drift beyond the walls, against my fragile will Fading into dreams that shimmer soft and deep A world that calls my name whenever I can’t sleep Acoustic melodies of sadness fill the air A distant lullaby that carries me away Confusion melts away like shadows in the light And in that gentle place, I almost feel alright Through the silent ache I wander far from here Chasing distant skies that slowly disappear Colors start to bloom beyond the pale and gray Like a hidden door that softly fades away Acoustic melodies of sadness fill the air If I were born again, I’d drift beyond the air I almost ran so far beyond what I was meant to be But something held me close and never set me free Still, in your gentle light, I’m not alone, I see So I will keep this smile for you who walks with me In another life… I might finally touch the sky…
