When the sun's hiding behind the hills
and the birds are asleep in their trees
others dreaming, only I'm awake
to dance with the soothing night's breeze.
My childish gains, my grave pains
with patience when she listens to,
I realise what true friendship is...
that until now, I never knew.
Some days I laugh, some days I cry
some days I just sit, with my eyes closed,
but she always shines bright, her silver rays,
leaving the world and my heart exposed.
Her smiles pull me closer when it's time for me to go,
my heart says 'stay' but my mind says 'no'
I need new strength, new life, a new day,
for the sun holds new work to do,and new prayers to say.
