Stay
Hometown sidewalk footsteps drum
To the beat of my heart; all I’ve overcome.
Found myself here like a homeless stray;
Cleaned myself up and decided to stay.
It’s not like I do not like leaving,
Future memories preconceiving,
But I blew on my dreams and they faded like smoke,
And a light turned on when the darkness spoke.
The sound of a wingbeat startles me near:
The life that’s out there is the love that’s in here.
With the glimmering madness of one who is free,
I declare that I know what it is to be me.

To the beat of my heart; all I’ve overcome.
Found myself here like a homeless stray;

And a light turned on when the darkness spoke.
The sound of a wingbeat startles me near:
The life that’s out there is the love that’s in here.
With the glimmering madness of one who is free,
I declare that I know what it is to be me.
