Lyric

Dawn stands still, the light won’t speak

A dream was sealed, the day turned weak

Even the wind was a prayer that day

Eyes fell dark, a voice came near

A fading spark that burned through fear

The sky was crying above my way

Don’t look at me—don’t laugh at me

Don’t pretend you know me—it’s not a game

Erase my trace and release my prayer into the sky

I was not born to inherit, only to fear

O prayer, O vow, O wish, be mine

Name me the hero, and none other

Choose this moment here and now

Choose the path that keeps you living on

We bear a wish without a name

And pass it through the years

If prayers rise to distant skies

The contrail binds our stars;

Keep marching on through all the scars

Hear my lifeblood burn!

Same days keep slipping away

Only the minutes slide away

I did nothing real, only survived

This life is not my own now

I will make this life my own now

As the ancient heroes did

A small flicker in me

Keeps glowing low in my chest

It must be hope they left

Someone handed down to me

Please look at me—please laugh at me

I am still alive, remember me

I am weak and afraid

If prayer has no place to go

Let me be uncool then

Let them laugh at me then

I will take it all, and bear it—"this is me"

Time around me flows, I'm left in its mist

My existence almost missed

Friends have grown up

I mimic adulthood, every single day

The things I chased before, still live in my chest

I reach out, but they fade like haze

Like a young boy chasing contrails

I'm still reaching out, towards that dream

Not sure if I'll grasp it with this hand

But till I'm gone, I'll make my stand

It's my "Never-Ending Story"
