Joy

It is the calm water
In the middle of an anxious sea
Where heavy clouds part and the sunrise starts
A fire in the deepest part of me
So I let go and in this moment I can breathe

The clumsy start of adolescence
The glue that mends our broken remnants
An overwhelming sense of reverence
It's a glimpse of light in a mine of gold

A silver lining spilling over
The rumour of buried treasure
The starting line of an adventure
It's a glimpse of light in a mine of gold

It's an afterglow, it's an echo
Still ringing out in spite of me
It's the faint outline of the divine
In the hiding place of my periphery
So I let go and in this moment, I can breathe
I can breathe

The setting sun through open windows
The honouring of every shadow
A gratitude for all that follows
It's a glimpse of light in a mine of gold

The countless stars we're sleeping under
It's the brightest sparks that we remember
When our eyes are closed, we still see embers
A glimpse of light in a mine of gold
It's a glimpse of light in mine of gold
