I see it all at last

(J Pereira)

Running out of time  

To do all I wanted to do  

‘Cause life got in the way  

Every single day  

Shadows moved too fast,  

Moments slipped right past

me

Dreams I used to chase,  

Are now lost in empty space

answers I thought I’d find

Have all been left behind

And forgotten in time

As they moved away 

from me

The weight of what I missed

And all that is left to do

Is now a heavier task

And I need to see it through 

I am haunted by the past

But I see it all at last

with you

The weight of what I missed

Still heavy in my mind

I’m no longer lost or blind

But I know I have to find

What I thought was left behind

When I met and fell in love with you

— 

In the quiet of night,  

When I search for a trace of light,

Darkness closes in tight

Hiding all that’s bright,  

Yet somewhere in this black,  

I know there’s a way back

for me

Bound by chains I can’t see

That still have their hold on me

Adding weight to life

Turning day into night

Turning hope into song

Helping me along

the way
