*Sunlight

Sunlight filters through the window,

Strikes you on the face;

I can see the pain that's in your eyes.



What's hidden within your heart,

I don't know;

You keep it locked away so deep inside



Can you feel the pain within my soul?

Feel it pass through me

As you walk on by;



Don't leave me alone,

standing here;

on my own.



I feel the rain as it's pounding down on me,

Fueling melancholy thoughts

of sad memories



of broken dreams and a hope for better days

you cry yourself to sleep each night,

and slowly slip away...



Still feeling alone,

shedding tears,

through nights long.



So many aches for the lives we hope to lead;

Substituting what we wish

in place of what what we need.



(There's) so much that I want to share with you,

be it strength or or a smiling face,

whatever helps you through



And you're not alone;

I've been here

All along...



Find me,

Please come find me

Break away from pain

because it's blinding



Oh, find me,

I pray you find me

place your hand in mine

and walk beside me,



Cause you're not alone,

and when you're near

I am strong.



You make me strong.
