Advent

It was a sunny day
When I learned to stand up
With scars and broken bones
I made those tiny steps
Back into your arms
That you won’t be alone

I can’t wait to see you smile
Your little heart beat next to mine
And kiss away your tears
The skyline feels like home
I can smell the scent
Of flowers so well known

Now I can see you from afar
Look how tall you are
Will you remember who I am?
I’m calling out your name
But you don’t seem to hear
I’m calling out your name again

Now I stand in front of you
You look straight through me like air
I’m reaching out my hand
Now I can see you smile
Standing up and run into
The arms of this strange man

The winds of darkness will take me away
On wings of blankness I’m going astray
I’m going under – I’m losing my way
I’m freely falling – I’m going astray
