Lyric

Holding on tight, with all of my might

But when I open my hand to the light

Nothing is there, just a hollow embrace

And a helpless emptiness takes its place

Bubbling up with a heavy sound

But even so, through the tears that fall

If my wet eyes see the rainbow call

Reflecting the colors up in the blue

I know that my smile will come back anew

I will find my way

The thing I protected, shaking with fear

Never returned to the hands I hold near

Flying away in the endless sky

Showing its wings as it passes me by

Laughing out loud in the open air

But even so, in this empty space

If my hollow heart seeks a dream to chase

Searching for light where the shadows end

I'll quietly wave like a long-lost friend

And I'll let it go

The thing we had raised, with all of our care

Kicked like a stone, leaving nothing but air

Bouncing right back to the core of my soul

Leaving a wound where it took its toll

A permanent pain that I still can feel

But even so, from the scars so deep

If the carved memories are promises to keep

Making the person I am today

I'll thank you for showing me the way

With a grateful heart

With a grateful heart

I will smile again
