lyrics

As a child, he used to let the light shine for a while
Before the sandman came to sprinkle his eyes
By the window, he felt the wind carry his fears away
Far beyond from what he had ever prayed
The sorrow's gone, his demons could wait
Cause the heaven he found, belonged to his own faith
No matter how far from the dreams that he had
He knew that everyday could be one to be glad
And by the moonlight, he thought about his life
What it would be ten years from where he was
Carry on wise man, don't worry you will find
And he believed himself after all
We're not alone for the the ride

As a man, he shuts the light down as fast as he can
Even the starlight cannot sooth his great pain
By the window, nothing but the phantoms of his past
Haunting the design that he's trying to reach
Why is it gone? Innocence and faith
In a life that goes on, every day without any aim

Will we ever have the strength, to find back what it takes?
To let the sandman come again
And feel the wind embracing our skins
Every day taking time to relieve from our sins
Listening carefully to the signs that
Show us where to go

Unconsciously, time feeds from our dreams
Until all that remains in an empty gleam
And consciously, we let our childhood disappear
The child inside us grows
We stand in line and and are the next one to follow

Can your just remember, the last time you laughed
Until you lose your breath, instead of faking smile
Can't you just try to sleep, without falling so deep?
And be glad to wake up, when the morning has come
Open your eyes on a world, where everything is possible
And let your light shine for a while

And let your light shine for a while
