Flight

Sometimes the light, shines so bright
it hides all the things that just aren't right
A fading soul in a dizzying flight
Lost in the running from her plight

Her journey cold, the tears of old
ears bleeding from all the stories told
searching for someone to hold
should she dare to be so bold

It's always the same, the usual game
trying to look beyond a name
through the dredges of poverty and fame
is she truly too wild to tame?

Still every day, you'll hear her say
she's just trying to find her way
from where life has tossed her to lay
memories and dreams begin to fray

so here tonight, in the soft moonlight
she turns to face her greatest fright
to find and hold a new delight
to begin to love again she might

tonight it ends, her will it bends
she gives her love to her truest friends
for all of them to her heart attends
a shattered dream finally mends

she looks to the sky, with love in her eyes
and spreading her wings, she fills the skies
taking flight above the light
finally finding a love that is right
