Written By: Shantal Reich

LOST AND FOUND

I look into the mirror
I’m staring at his eyes
It’s not getting clearer
I see his lies

He knows his weakness
He knows he tries
He wants his happiness
But I’ve failed many times

~Chorus~
There’s snow and frost
Covering the ground
I’m living in lost
I’m looking for found
My love is frozen
My heart is bound
I’m living in lost
I’m looking for found

I look into the mirror
And man it’s real,
There are two of us living here
One I see and one I feel

We see eye to eye
But then we fight
Convinced as we are
Only one can be right

~Chorus~
There’s snow and frost
Covering the ground
I’m living in lost
I’m looking for found
My love is frozen
My heart is bound
I’m living in lost
I’m looking for found

Instrumental Break

I look into the mirror
I’m staring at his face
It’s now getting clearer
We’ll both share this space

We’ll go where we’re going
We know where we’re from
We’ll both be growing
We’ll see what we become

~Chorus~
I’ve got my feet
Back on the ground
I’m living in lost
But I’m looking for found
My heart is rising
I’m coming around
I’m living in lost
But I’m looking for

~Chorus 2~
We’ve got our feet
Back on the ground
We’re living in lost
But we’re looking for found
My love is growing
I’m upward bound
We’re living in lost
But we’re looking for found

LIGHT AS A FEATHER

You grabbed my innocence
Tied it in a knot
The ropes were tense
As you shot me on the spot

You took my soul away
Without a care
I’ll never be the same
My heart will always be bare

You make me think you’re everything I need
But I really don’t know so just please let me be
My fragile strength shattered the moment you came along
Now there’s nothing I can do except singing this song

Hoping for one thing,
Dreading the other
Don’t put me on your sling
I’m light as a feather

You make me think you’re everything I need
But I really don’t know so just please let me be
My fragile strength shattered the moment you came along
Now there’s nothing I can do except singing this song

Im so confused
I feel like I’m used
My life is abused
And now I’m bruised

Hoping for one thing,
Dreading the other
Don’t put me on your sling
I’m light as a feather

It’ll only bring me back to you
Something always brings me back to you

FOOL

Yelling and screaming and telling lies
As I’m hating and dreaming about so many lives
They think I’m happy
They think I can’t see
The world around me
But I disagree

Battles and struggles and so many tries
That’ll scare hugs and welcome goodbyes
They think I’m weird
Don’t think it’s severe
Hope I disappear
No one’s sincere

It’s a lonely lonely night
It’s a dirty dirty fight

Don’t call me normal, I’m different you see
That’s why you don’t understand me
Don’t trick it
Don’t hurt it
Don’t smother it
Don’t bury it It’s a dirty dirty night
It’s a lonely lonely fight

You feed your lies, you feed my curse
I feed my pride, I make it worse
You say you’re wise, I’ll write the verse
Your love’s in disguise, but I did it first

I look like a fool in all that I do
Look like a fool
Like a fool
Fool fool fool

It’s a lonely lonely night
It’s a dirty dirty fight

It’s a dirty dirty night
It’s a lonely lonely fight

MY CROWN

I’m back
Back to this town
We feel
Feel let down
In sight
Sight of my sound

Nothing changed
I stayed the same
I’m what I used to be
My painful memory

CHORUS
When we were friends
When our time couldn’t end
I didn’t understand
That the world sat in my hand

I’m sorry
Sorry I drowned
We never
Never were around
To save
Save my crown

We hoped for the best
I hoped to impress
Let go of the rest
Rest of the regrets

CHORUS
When we were friends
When our time couldn’t end
I didn’t understand
That the world sat in my hand

I’m back
Back to this town
We feel
Feel let down
In sight
Sight of my sound

Let me out
Of this sick and old ground
I’m under a mound
Where I cannot be found
I don’t want to be bound
Let me be crowned
I wanna take my crown
My crown

REPEAT CHORUS

HELP

I want to run and hide
With someone by my side
I will come out alive
With someone by my side

It’s a cry for help
I’ll lose myself
It’s a cry for help
I can’t help myself

I’m stable, I promise
With someone like this
This abyss doesn’t exist
With someone like this

It’s a cry for help
I’ll lose myself
It’s a cry for help
I can’t help myself

I’m better than what I seem
Unless it’s my dream
In an evil scheme
But that’s an extreme

It’s a cry for help
I’ll lose myself
It’s a cry for help
I can’t help myself

GOODBYE

Another tear
Another yelling and screaming fight
Another weep
Another horrible and sad night

Mimkomcha (From Your Place)
Lyrics © 2009 Scott Reich

We are waitin’
We are waitin’
When will we be goin’ home

We are cryin’
We are dyin’
Please don’t leave us here alone

‘Cause I know
Even though
You’re so far above

We still
And we will
Always have your love

Soon and forever
We’ll be together
We want to be with You

I’ll live to see it
I’ll never leave it
Please make it come true

From Your place
In all Your grace
Your light will shine

Just like the song
We sing along
Now it is the time

From Your place
In all Your grace
You will appear

Just like the song
We sing along
I know that You can hear

SOON

Soon
You’ll leave this place
You’ll be off on your own
You’ll start your race
You are leaving home

Soon
The scenery will change
I can’t help you compete
No it wont be the same
My job is complete

~Chorus~
Yesterday we built the past
Today life starts anew
Tomorrow came and went
Now what we have is soon

Soon, as day follows night
Soon, it will come into sight
Soon, it’ll be all right

Soon
The steps you took
Will bring it all together
You gotta keep the faith
And I’ll be there forever

~Chorus~
Yesterday we built the past
Today life starts anew
Tomorrow came and went
Now what we have is soon

Soon, as day follows night
Soon, it will come into sight
Soon, it’ll be all right

Oooohhh….oooaahhhh

Soon, as day follows night
Soon, it will come into sight
Soon, we’ll be all right

LAY IT ON ME

I know you don’t like the battle
So you hurry
You hurry

Come on over just be patient
Don’t you worry
Don’t worry

Bring all your troubles
And lay them on me
Tell it to me in full
Its ok baby
Lay it on me
Lay it on me

You’re blinded by the white light
Slowly turns blurry
Turns blurry

Come on over just be patient
Don’t you worry
Don’t worry

Bring all your troubles
And lay them on me
Tell it to me in full
Its ok baby
Lay it on me
Lay it on me

Bring all your troubles
And lay them on me
Tell it to me in full
Its ok baby
Lay it on me
Lay it on me
Lay it on me
Lay it on me

THE WINDY PATHWAY

The tall tree binds me,
But I leave it behind me.
The path is a blur,
But I move on, undeterred.
The wind fights me back,
Blowing me off track.
The sun is going down,
The night begins to fall.
In the shadows I drown,
But this is when I call

~Chorus~
I’ll keep my mind straight and strong,
Though this path is windy and long.
With faith I’m not done,
You are with me, You are One.

I’ll fly above,
To the One I love.
The stony path below,
The strong winds blow.
I twist upside down,
But I follow the Crown.
I will not despair,
I know I will learn,
That my King is still here,
Waiting for my return.

~Chorus~
And I keep my mind straight and strong,
Though this path is windy and long.
With faith I’m not done,
You are with me, You are One.

The tall tree tried me,
But I left it behind me.
The path was a blur,
But I move on, undeterred.
My colors may change,
But there’s still life in my veins.
I continue to grow,
I’ll keep my belief,
And I strive even though,
I am but a leaf.

~Chorus~
And I still keep my mind straight and strong,
Though this path is windy and long.
With faith I’m not done,
You are with me, You are One.

YOU WILL BE MINE

There’s sometimes I don’t know
There’s sometimes I’m not sure
But now I’m sick
And I know you’re the cure

~Chorus~
You will be mine X3
In time
You will be mine X3
In time
You will be mine X3
In time

When I see your face
I feel the speed
Let’s cut to the chase
You are what I need

~Chorus~
You will be mine X3
In time
You will be mine X3
In time
You will be mine X3
In time

~Bridge/Chorus 2~
The light will lead us
And give us a sign
But now the night’s here to greet us
It’s just a matter
Of time
You will be mine
In time
You will be mine
In time

So come and walk with me
Deep into the night
Our hearts beat in time
And everything will be all right

~Chorus~
When you will be mine
You will be mine
You will be mine
In time
You will be mine X3
In time
You will be mine X3
In time…

CHANGE THE WORLD

In the beginning there was nothing
Until the word
Then there was something
So it could be heard

Beautiful and horrible
The tree and the snake
Good and Evil it became hard to tell
What was real or what was fake

CHORUS
It’s hard to see which way to go
How can you help when you don’t know
Who’s speaking, who’s listening, who’s telling lies
We can only change the world one word at a time

Every single day
We hear the bad news
And there’s nothing to do or say
But there’s one thing we can choose

CHORUS X2
Yes it’s hard to see which way to go
How can you help when you don’t know
Who’s speaking, who’s listening, who’s telling lies
We can only change the world one word at a time

© 2009 Shantal Reich

KEEP GOING ON

You’re standing at the border between dark and light
You’re in distress; life’s a hard fight
Your eyes are open, but your hands are fisted
You’re heart is reeling, warped and twisted
Your feelings you think no one’s gonna see
This is not who you are meant to be
You’re head is spinning round and round
You gotta choose
Ya you gotta choose
Stand tall or fall down (“down” could be down beat for chorus)
(But what I say is)

keep going on
keep going on
keep going on
keep going on
going on
going on
go on

There's a Time

There’s a Time
Lyrics and Music © Scott Reich 2011

VERSE 1
There's a time to be born and a time to die
There's a time to love and a time to lie
There's a time to win and a time to lose
A time to be chosen and a time to choose

CHORUS 1
The sun will rise, the sun will set
The wind will blow, the mind forgets

VERSE 2
I thought our love would always last
How was I to know our time had passed?
We tried so hard to change our fate
But a twisted thing can never be set straight

CHORUS 2
The river flows into the sea
Whatever was is what will be

BRIDGE
You gotta leave before you can return
Gotta believe before you can learn
I know there's love in my heart
But I need a new start
So let the future begin

VERSE 3
There's a time to plant and a time to grow
There's a time to hope and there's a time to know
After all, when the day is done
You gotta love to live and live to love someone

CHORUS 3 & 4
The river flows into the sea
But now I know I will be free

The sun will rise and the sun will set
A good goodbye knows no regrets

The rain will come and the wind will blow
The time has come for letting go

When all is said and all is done
The love you give is what lives on

Lost and Found

Lost and Found

I look into the mirror
I’m staring at his eyes
It’s not getting clearer
I see his lies

He knows his weakness
He knows he tries
He wants his happiness
But I’ve failed many times

~Chorus~
There’s snow and frost
Covering the ground
I’m living in lost
I’m looking for found
My love is frozen
My heart is bound
I’m living in lost
I’m looking for found

I look into the mirror
And man it’s real,
There are two of us living here
One I see and one I feel

We see eye to eye
But then we fight
Convinced as we are
Only one can be right

~Chorus~
There’s snow and frost
Covering the ground
I’m living in lost
I’m looking for found
My love is frozen
My heart is bound

Now I See the Light

Written By: Lyrics by Shantal Reich, Music by Scott Reich

Now I See The Light
Lyrics © 2008 Shantal Reich

I’m standing in the rain, its cold outside.
The air feels clear, and my eyes are open wide.
I’m feeling all alone, I don’t know why I’m here.
I was following my star, but my star disappeared.
It’s just a heart crying
It’s just a world lying
It’s just a soul trying
It’s just a dream dying

The rain has stopped, but its still cold.
The air is still clear, but my eyes are getting old.
I may not know why, and I may not prevail
But I know I’m gonna try, cause if I don’t I know I’ll fail
It’s just a heart crying
It’s just a world lying
It’s just a soul trying
It’s just a dream dying

CHORUS
There comes a time when it’s gone on too long
There comes a place where you gotta move on
This is a choice that I have to make
This is the chance that I have to take

This is my life; it’s up to me
If I can’t be strong then I can’t be free
I made it wrong and I can make it right
I’ve seen the dark, now I see the light

I don’t care if it rains, I don’t care if it’s cold.
I’m no longer young, I’ll be back when I’m old.
I don’t have all the answers, but one thing is clear
I know I have a purpose, that’s why He put me here
It’s just a heart singing
It’s just a bell ringing

BREAK YOU

Put the setting on "forever"
But you can bet it won’t last
Yeah you’re feeling so together
Yeah you really like it fast

But the day will come
When they come for you
What will you do?

CHORUS
It’s a good day for a landmine
When it blows up in your face
It’s a good day for an earthquake
When it shakes you in your place

You're an unnatural disaster
A firestorm of greed
An avalanche is coming
Is that a shovel that you need?

You’re luck’s running out
Girl you're on borrowed time
But your mind hears no doubt
We’re fine ‘till you cross that line

But the day will come
When they come for you
What will you do?

CHORUS
It’s a good day for a hanging
When it leaves you on the vine
It’s a good day for a landslide
Dig yourself out this time

You're an unnatural disaster
A firestorm of greed
An avalanche is coming
Is that a shovel that you need?

You won’t stop
You won’t give up
‘Till you’re at the top
Then it’ll drop

CHORUS
It’s a good day for a landmine
When it blows up in your face
It’s a good day for an earthquake
When it shakes you in your place
It shakes you
Shakes you
Breaks you!

FIND IT

I'm gonna crank it up, uh huh
I can't get enough
I'm gonna let it out
I wanna hear you shout
And I just won't stop
No you can't turn me off
I'm gonna play it loud, gonna play it proud

Red light is on
I'm gonna drive it
All night long
Till I find it
Red light is on
I'm gonna drive it
All night long
Till I find it

One, two, three, I'll run off the stage
I'll set you free from that burning cage
And when I plug it in, I'm gonna make you plead
Till the ground shakes, I know you love me

Red light is on
I'm gonna drive it
All night long
Till I find it
Red light is on
I'm gonna drive it
All night long
Till I find it
Find it

Red light is on
I'm gonna drive it
All night long
Till I find it
Find it

Red light is on
I'm gonna drive it
All night long
Till I find it

DREAMING THE UNREAL

Hey
What’cha looking for?
Yeah
It’s not anymore
It’s all gone
It was all fake
What’s going on?
Now you’re awake

~Chorus~
You’re so caught up
In what others say
It’s never enough
Unless it’s their way
Stop dreaming the unreal
Then see how you feel
There’s nothing left to you
There’s nothing left to do

Hey
Wat’cha looking for?
Yeah
It’s not anymore
It’s all done
You’re coming back
Did u have fun?
Or did you crack?

~Chorus~
You’re so caught up
In what others say
It’s never enough
Unless it’s their way
Stop dreaming the unreal
Then see how you feel
There’s nothing left to you
There’s nothing left to do

~Chorus 2~
You’re so caught up
In what others say
It’s never enough
Unless it’s their way
Stop dreaming the unreal
Then see how you feel
Stop dreaming the unreal
Stop dreaming the unreal

Sad-Poignant (9 SONGS)

Written By: Shantal Reich

LOVE IN DISGUISE

When I’m alone
Alone in my room
Scared of the backbone
In the cracking booms

And I hear the thunder
One after the other
I wonder

Will it ever strike me?
Catch me by surprise?
Will it ever hurt me?
With love in disguise?

And water will pour out of my eyes.

I’d rather the shock
So I’ll feel alive
Then a heart block
Fading to die

And I hear the thunder
One after the other
I wonder

Will it ever strike me?
Catch me by surprise?
Will it ever hurt me?
With love in disguise?

And water will pour out of my eyes.

I GUESS

But I guess I mean something to someone
You think I’m fun
I guess you mean a whole lot to me
You help me see
That I’m worth more than I ever thought
Worth more than I ever bought

You say it from the heart
Say I’m artsy
You still think I’m smart
Maybe a little dreamy

If I could only go back in time
And never have to know why people cry
Go back to when I was confident in me
I want to be innocent
But now I resent, prevent, and torment
I don’t believe in me
I don’t believe in many things

But I guess I mean something to someone
I don’t have to run
I guess you mean a whole lot to me
Just watching you be
Be so cheery

A lot of crying
I’m in pain
But there’s healing
In your name

If I could only go back in time
And never have to know why people cry
Go back to when I was confident in me
I want to be innocent
But now I resent, prevent, and torment
I don’t believe in me
I guess I don’t believe in many things

You end your songs with something happy
I can’t do that yet, you see,
But you’re an angel of mercy
I guess I’m glad you found me

HOW MUCH LONGER

Sitting here
Staring at the clock
As it goes tick tock

Wondering here
Wasting ink in my pen
As it strikes 4 AM

How much longer
Till I can give up hope
How much longer
For me to cope
How much longer
Till you throw me your rope
To pull me through

Asking here
What it’s supposed to mean
To be hardly seen

Trying here
To encourage my soul
I’ll live up to my role

How much longer
Till I can give up hope
How much longer
For me to cope
How much longer
Till you throw me your rope
To pull me through

Sitting here
Staring at the clock
As it goes tick tock

MAN IN THE MOON

She’s felt it all
Yet she has a beautiful smile
An honest soul
A sparkle in her eyes
And remains unhurt, she remains unhurt

She’s trying to live
In a place that doesn’t exist
Yet they move in
Closer and closer
And it selfishly gets harder and harder

~CHORUS~
It comes down like hail
Drowning her trail
But the room illuminates her face
And the sun shines through her golden hair
As her sun slowly sets
We are all put to rest
For now

Her eyes sadden
And try to show courage
But a cold rush
A stir in her heart
Keep a lonely mess of a friend

~CHORUS~
It comes down like hail
Drowning her trail
But the room illuminates her face
And the sun shines through her golden hair
As her sun slowly sets
We are all put to rest
For now

It’s about time she slows down
It’s about time she listens to the sound
Of tonight
One day it’ll be worth the fight
It might be all right

Heeeaaahhhhalalala…..ooooaauuuhhhh

The man in the moon looks down upon her
Heeeeyyyaaayaaalllaaa
He keeps on loving her

~CHORUS~
So it comes down like hail
So it’s drowning her trail
But the room illuminates her face
And the sun shines through her golden hair
As her sun slowly sets
We are all put to rest
For now

And he keeps on loving her, he keeps on loving her, he keeps on loving her, he keeps on loving her…

WILL YOU STILL LIKE ME?

What if I told you I'm not perfect?
What'll you detect?
Will you still like me?

What if I told you I had an addiction?
Will that cause some friction?
Will you still like me?

What if I told you I'm needy?
Will you think I'm creepy?
Will you still like me?

What if I told you I can get mad?
Is that very bad?
Will you still like me?

What if I told you I like you?
Would you tell me the truth?
Will you still like me?

What if I told you I care a lot?
Will that hit the spot?
Will you still you like me?

What if I didn't tell you at all?
I won't
I can't
I'm putting up my wall
So I won't take the fall
Thank god I'm not very tall

Good enough for someone else

I was still respected
I was still accepted
I felt connected

THE CHILD (VERSION 1)

I’ve been trying to love you
But it’s all a waste
Dark is all that I knew
There’s no light, not a trace

Days come, and days go
But I've got nothing left to lose
I can’t be what I don’t know
How can I love if I can’t choose?

Someday I’ll lift up the dawn
And someday I’ll tear down the night
Shoot an arrow to the sun
The target’s in sight
Oh, someday, before I’m gone

Something’s ended, so something begins
Someone’s gone out, so someone comes in

There’s no goal, there’s no gain
There’s no love, there’s no sin
No one will ever know
If you lose or win

Someday I’ll lift up the dawn
Someday I’ll tear down the night
Shoot an arrow to the sun
The target’s in sight
Someday, before I’m gone

When it began
It came without a warning
Just wiped out all my plans
So, I just ran I couldn’t keep it going
THE CHILD IS FATHER OF THE MAN

But someday I’ll lift up the dawn
Someday I’ll tear down the night
I am what I was
But I can still make it right
Someday, before I’m gone

Someday
Yeah, someday...
Someday
Yeah, someday
I know, someday
Someday...

COME BACK TO ME

I’m trying my best here
It’s been a test this year
How to help you is unclear
I blew it, just like I feared

But I know that eventually
The love I give will come back to me
Someday it’ll come back to me
Come back to me

I’m trying to suggest here
You’ve been distressed this year
Your view: unclear
I can’t reach you, just like I feared

But I know that eventually
The love I give will come back to me
Someday it’ll come back to me
Come back to me

I’ve cared too much here
You’ve been on a crutch this year
I tried everything to make things clear
You shut me out, just like I feared

But I know that eventually
The love I give will come back to me
Someday it’ll come back to me
Come back to me

THE CHILD (VERSION 2)

I’ve been trying to love you
But it’s just a waste
I’m in a cloud-covered darkness
No light, not a trace

Someday I’ll lift up the dawn
I’ll tear down the night
Shoot an arrow to the sun
The target’s in sight
Something’s ended, so something begins
Someone’s gone out, so someone comes in

CHORUS
When our love began
I was hardly a man
And now that I’m old
I can’t break the mold
I couldn’t win this battle plan
The Child is father to the man.

The days come, the days go
And what did I lose?
I can’t be if I don’t know
I can’t love if I can’t choose

Someday I’ll lift up the dawn
I’ll tear down the night
Shoot an arrow to the sun
The target’s in sight
Something’s ended, so something begins
Someone’s gone out, so someone comes in

CHORUS
When our love began
I was hardly a man
And now that I’m old
I can’t break the mold
I couldn’t win this battle plan
The Child is father to the man.

NOW I SEE THE LIGHT

I’m standing in the rain, its cold outside.
The air feels clear, and my eyes are open wide.
I’m feeling all alone, I don’t know why I’m here.
I was following my star, but my star disappeared.
It’s just a heart crying
It’s just a world lying
It’s just a soul trying
It’s just a dream dying

The rain has stopped, but its still cold.
The air is still clear, but my eyes are getting old.
I may not know why, and I may not prevail
But I know I’m gonna try, cause if I don’t I know I’ll fail
It’s just a heart crying
It’s just a world lying
It’s just a soul trying
It’s just a dream dying

CHORUS
There comes a time when it’s gone on too long
There comes a place where you gotta move on
This is a choice that I have to make
This is the chance that I have to take

This is my life; it’s up to me
If I can’t be strong then I can’t be free
I made it wrong and I can make it right
I’ve seen the dark, now I see the light

I don’t care if it rains, I don’t care if it’s cold.
I’m no longer young, I’ll be back when I’m old.
I don’t have all the answers, but one thing is clear
I know I have a purpose, that’s why He put me here
It’s just a heart singing
It’s just a bell ringing
It’s a new dawn rising
It’s a new light shining

CHORUS
There comes a time when it’s gone on too long
There comes a place where you gotta move on
This is a choice that I have to make
This is the chance that I have to take

This is my life; it’s up to me
If I can’t be strong then I can’t be free
I made it wrong and I can make it right
I’ve seen the dark, now I see the light

CHORUS 2
Now is the time, here is the place
I am the one who must run this race
This is a choice that I have to make
This is the chance that I have to take

This is my life; it’s up to me
If I can’t be strong then I can’t be free
I made it wrong and I can make it right
I’ve seen the dark, now I see the light

CRY OUT

You didn’t reall

The Child

Written By: Lyrics by Shantal Reich, Music by Scott Reich

I've been trying to love you
But it's all a waste
Dark is all that I knew
There's no light, not a trace

Days come, and days go
But I've got nothing left to lose
I can't be what I don't know
How can I love if I can't choose?

CHORUS
Someday I'll lift up the dawn
And someday I'll tear down the night
Shoot an arrow to the sun
The target's in sight
Oh, someday, before I'm gone

Something's ended,
So something begins
Someone's gone out,
So someone comes in

There's no goal, there's no gain
There's no love, there's no sin
No one will ever know
If you lose or win

CHORUS
Someday I'll lift up the dawn
Someday I'll tear down the night
Shoot an arrow to the sun
The target's in sight
Someday, before I'm gone

BRIDGE
When it began
It came without a warning
Just wiped out all my plans
So, I ran I couldn't keep it going
THE CHILD IS FATHER OF THE MAN

CHORUS
But someday I'll lift up the dawn
Someday I'll tear down the night
I am what I was
But I can still make it right
Someday, before I'm gone

Someday
Yeah, someday...
Someday
Yeah, someday
I know, someday
Someday...

Soon

Written By: Shantal Reich

Soon
You'll leave this place
You'll be off on your own
You'll start your own race
You are leaving home

Soon
The scenery will change
I can't help you compete
No it wont be the same
My job is complete

~Chorus~
Yesterday we built the past
Today life starts anew
Tomorrow came and went
Now what we have is

Soon, as day follows night
Soon, it will come into sight
Soon, here me when I say it'll be all right X2

Soon
The steps that you took
Will bring it all together
You gotta keep the faith
And I'll be there forever

~Chorus~
Yesterday we built the past
Today life starts anew
Tomorrow came and went
Now what we have is

Soon, as day follows night
Soon, it will come into sight
Soon, here me when I say it'll be all right X3

It's coming, you'll find it
You're glowing, don't hide it

Yesterday we built the past
Today life starts anew
Tomorrow came and went
Now what we have is

Yesterday we built the past
Today life starts anew
Tomorrow came and went
Now what we have is

Soon, as day follows night
Soon, it will come into sight
Soon, here me when I say it'll be all right X3
