The Return - Lightning Bug

For all my foolish errors and the beauty I have drunk

I think I’ll learn to live my life as wisely as a monk

Turn off my phone and live alone in everlasting peace

But is my soul to turn to stone when my childish wanderings cease?

Such petty things that I have bought and such ugly things I’ve thought

The times I should’ve let it go, but instead I blindly fought

My mother says I’ll never find all the happiness I’ve sought

To duck my head and just obey all the lessons I’ve been taught

I’ll run ahead to leave it bhind

Look at the sky and count the colors I find

All the colors I find

But as I star into the heart of my own twisting fire

The songs yet to be written flock around me like a choir

And with each note, the spirit unwinds

Look at your mind and count the colors I find

All the colors I find
