Lyric

Hidden by a friend

I hoped you would find me again

In shadowy streets, in sleepless nights

You arrived with the morning rain

And the smile that rose on the stranger's face

Felt strange

In the sounds of happiness

In restless dreams I walked alone

Among those carved into hearts of stone

In the rain I heard a whisper

Gentle as grace, light as pain

And in that silence I felt the warmth of the morning

Though the night continues…

There the sound of happiness rang

And in the bare light I saw

A thousand souls without flaw

Each chasing echoes in their days

In silent hope, in muted thanks

But no one dared to break the veil of grayness

Not a single voice…

To sing the sound of happiness

"Fools," I said, "don't you see

That joy can burst forth where sorrow sprouts?

Grasp the hand that trembles beside you

Say the word your heart longs for."

But my words fell like tears into the empty air –

No one was there…

To hear the sound of happiness

And the people bowed and prayed

To hollow gods, betrayed by joy

But still it sparkles in the sky

In the laughter of children, in the sighs of lovers

And in the wind that moves the silent willows…

It still carries…

Soft notes, like happiness
