Fireworks

Verse 1
A prayer too heavy

For such a small, young soul

The world does not choose

Those who merely cling to hope

Before the trial,

Countless petals

Wither and fall away

Lost in the evening gloom,

Straying from the path,

A thick mist shrouds

The visions we were meant to see.

Even exhausted wishes do not die;

Between heaven and earth,

They linger on.

They shall walk beside the living,

Becoming the wind at your back.

Chorus
A long, supple, and iron will

Poured into the chalice

The very flesh and blood of possibility.

This overflowing prayer

Shall be the light that guides you.

Shine on, like a flickering star.

Verse 2
The power left within me

Is fading fast,

Threatening to vanish

Even in the sound of the rain.

Watching over brothers-in-arms as they pass,

I throw open the gates.

To survive,

I carry their memories as my own.

Chorus
Fragile, severed, fleeting thoughts-

A hope far too heavy

For these trembling hands to hold.

But none of that matters now.

Even still,

That unforgettable radiance

Remains within me,

Burning like a spark.

Bridge
There is no need to reach for the stars;

For they are something

To be found within.

Last Chorus
A long, supple, and iron will

Poured into the chalice-

The very flesh and blood of possibility.

This overflowing prayer

Shall be the light that guides you.

Shine on, like a flickering star.

Fragile, severed, fleeting thoughts-

A hope far too heavy

For these trembling hands to hold.

But none of that matters now.

Even still,

That unforgettable radiance

Remains within me,

Burning like a spark.
