It’s been so long
since I heard the sun
call my name.
It’s been so long
since I had the power to
light my way.
Dreams left me high
and lovely,
(but) in darkness
with life undone.
It’s been so long
since I heard the sun.
It’s been so long
since I became
a forgotten one.
It’s been so long
since I started spinning
into oblivion.
You can still be a refugee
in a place you can’t escape,
running ahead as lights turn red,
trying to duck fate.
It’s been so long
since I had faith
in future plans.
It’s been so long
since I had faith
in a promised land.
Dreams left me high
and lovely,
(but) in darkness
with life undone.
It’s been so long
since I heard the sun.
