Children laugh, people sing,
Strange how I don't feel a thing.
This world is filled with colour and light,
Inside my mind and heart there's only night.

My world ended the day you died.
My song died with the tears I cried.
All that I am now is ghost in a shell,
Wishing and praying I could make you well.

The cliff edge seems to beckon me,
Telling me that I can be free.
Leave this tortured world of your demise,
And join you forever in the skies.

I stand on the edge, looking over at the sea.
Suddenly I can hear you calling me,
I spread out my arms to welcome you,
And walk out on the air so it can be true.

The air rushes round me, can it be that I'm flying?
I feel a thud and sudden pain, now I know I'm dying.
My body is so heavy, so I leave it sitting there,
My feet start to descend the golden stair.

I see you smiling at me, you look like an angel to be,
But then you shake your head at me.
"Go back" you say and I cry,
I was a fool to try and die.

My soul descends to earth once more,
Now I must wait for the door
To open when I die and take me to you.
Until then I must live reborn anew,
Again and again until I learn not to fail myself
By giving up too soon on life itself.
Then I can be forever with you,
Hearing your lives and sharing them too.
