Moving Forward

When the air has written us a tune

That we can breathe in,

That we can deeply dive into

It will be fine for us to run and not look back.

When the sun has come around to

Shine a day that grey can seethe in

That we can sweetly lie into

It will be fine for us to jump and not hold back.

When the race is finally run and

Finish lines have broken time that

I can sing to

That I can freely beat my wings to 

It will be time for me win and not make up for

Anything I lack.

I can't go back

To other roads that I have passed through,

To the easy paths that always lead straight into

Variations of the devil's favorite trap...

I can't look back

To all the things that

I had run to

To the future that I thought this life

would come to

To the dreams I thought were

everything I had...

No, I can't turn back -

And the fear of any wood that I can't see through

Will never lead me anywhere,

But back.
