when I look into the nighttime sky
I wonder if some other soul
is gazing back at me
...
desire was just a turquoise sea
where golden stars would set me free
I blindly chased the fickle wind
...
I do not need a grand reward
I only want a guide
I wish to join the winning team
if god is on their side
...
Indeed as beautiful as night,
her images are indistinct,
a blazing sun beyond my sight,
an orchid that is now extinct.
...
if I could only stop time
freeze a raindrop in midair
a moment in the storm
...
the story is as old as time
for every mountain we can climb
missteps await that just may kill
regardless of our guile or skill
...
The cards are laid, the bets are made,
and now my luck is called.
But I command the winning hand,
three aces won't be stalled.
...
above the clouds
the stars are fast asleep
the sea below is vast
and dark and deep
...
The fire has fallen on itself,
the earth beneath my back is cold.
I could get up to build some heat,
a firm foundation still remains
...
