You Glow in the Dark (song in progress)
She said you looked away from the sunlight.
You wore sunglasses, closed your eyes
Turned to the other side
It's OK, she said, maybe it's too much,
too soon for you to recognize.
One thing's for sure, she understands.
Sometimes we're too preoccupied,
feeling our way through darkness,
mirroring our own shadows,
nodding to illusions.
She's happy with an oil lamp,
a flashlight, a spark from a firefly,
all alone in this forest she's called her own.
But there is a glimmer from afar,
maybe a lighthouse.
Flashing by the corner of her eye,
waiting, a car on high beam.
Light is meant to be shared,
it's either now or never.
Even the dimmest lightbulb gives its all.
Darkness simply brings out your spotlight even more.
Can't you see? She can see that ...
You glow in the dark,
you glow in the dark.
Even from afar she saw your pure heart.
Within an armor,
inside a cold stone,
she knows yours is warmth.
A light that beams,
shadows forming a beautiful scene,
You stand out from the crowd.
You glow in the dark.
