Force of Gravity - Sylvan

I light up a fire,

A fire that stands for all injustice that we see

It helps to revive

The pictures of grief that it’s incapable to ease

An impulse to move up With the rise of wind, travels way beyond our reach

To search for a saviour

It can’t find down here, against the fall…

I light up a fire,

A fire that mourns for those who know atrocity

It helps realize

That fate does not grant all what’s self-evident for me A fire that climbs up Like a shooting star, travels distant galaxies

One wish it might grant us:

To rise like itself against the force of gravity

First, you rise

From embers shy and then you climb

Up high and weightless brave the fall

My burgeoning fire, please fly,

Please shine!

You shine, you warm me,

My hope,

Your light engulfs the cold

And changes our world

In defiance of it all…

And spark and fly

And glow and shine,

Don’t fall but rise

And burn, my fire!

Gravity,

The force of gravity!

The force of gravity!

The force of gravity!
