Facing the Sun
A song about turning towards what comes next when the heavy things behind you have taken enough of your time. Loss is part of it, but so are relationships, disappointments and years spent waiting. The point is the turn towards warmth, laughter, companionship and the future.
Lyrics
The heartache of losing those so close and dear,
Kept it subdued, though I still shed a tear,
But they knew who I was, and they'd want me to choose
A life full of warmth with nothing to lose.
Pulling a chair up to where the sun hits,
Finding the quiet where everything fits,
With a smile that's real and a laugh that breaks free,
This is the chapter that belongs to me.
Moving beyond all the shadows and noise,
Trading the silence for everyday joys,
Finding that special one with whom time just sits,
Sharing the space we'll never want to quit.
Pulling a chair up to where the sun hits,
Finding the quiet where everything fits,
With a smile that's real and a laugh that breaks free,
This is the chapter that belongs to me.
The waiting is finished, the heavy days done,
We are trading the shadows for facing the sun,
With trust in our hearts and the patience repaid,
Look at the life that we get to have made.
