Brilliance

There's brilliance on our path
a sunset on the river in gloomy icing
There's the cold at our feet, the heat in the veins
There's a life aside the one you dreamt

There's a fascination and a salvation
easing up memories, dusting the view you had
it's in the future to change a way inside
it's bitter and it's sweet, it's strange

There's brilliance on our path
children grown
we are preparing for the outside world
with the eyes of the one who longs for responsibility

As the worlds flow together, they'll break
into a thousand pieces of the prism
and the thousand colours of childhood play
it lights the sun of grown up ambitions

It's naive but so am I
a little lost and a little found
in a world I knew, didn't, did know
and a fantasy I lived, didn't, did live

Twenty-some have come and gone
this little boy has developed and is now ready to let go
there's a little music, a little silence
but there'll always be brilliance on our path
