Lyric

Echoes in the Light

KAJU

Just another day

Passed me on my way

Suddenly a gentle breeze

Opened a door in my heart

It was this old crossroad

In faded memories

There I found your smile

Brought tears into my eyes

The days I struggled how to tell but never made it out

Yet all this time

They never went away

I know I could not hide

Those words I missed to tell you then

That I have been holding so long

Deep within my heart sleeps a tender feeling

I've realized that you have always stayed with me

We are connected here

Through the darkest night

I am calling you

It echoes in the light

True tenderness lies underneath

Making this river flow, yet sometimes unnoticed

A story begins so unexpectedly and as I’m far inside

It’s lost and gone with the wind

We walk two steps close and we part, then walk three steps away, 

It’s love… or was it really love?

But how would you know if the shades and the shapes of hearts

Must be the same to be one love?

Deep within my heart sleeps a tender feeling

I’ve realized that we can never measure love

As today’s half moon nor to keep a crescent moon

Nor to have the same eclipse of hearts 

Nor to be always full moon

All precious memories come right back to me

Whenever I cross that street

But something in myself 

Melts a broken spell

Now I fly beyond time

Find the message and I’ll deliver on that’s long be gone

Deep within my heart sleeps a tender feeling

I've realized that you have always stayed with me

We are connected here

Through the darkest night

I am calling you

I hear it clear and bright

I am calling you

It echoes in the light
