Arena

Before me plays the endless film

Relentless splinters I recall

Each living thing breathes life

Only sentiment remains

To liquid born, from patterns formed

The sand descends with blind intent

Where the river takes me will in time be revealed

I cannot turn my feelings down

Beyond my means to turn my thoughts around

Expressed in every word I will ever speak

Brighter than all the stars combined

More than the waters, Earth, and sky

All that I wish and all that I dream

No creed on Earth can replace or provide

In my darkest hour, the comfort I'd feel

Leading me to see I can be more than I expect of me

My beginning and my end

The first and last air that I breathe

More than the sum of everything that I will ever be

Above the waves with my hands raised

Dare the wind, lay claim to me

Knowing somehow none could take me

Wasthing the sun come up in vain

The only reason I can find why I remained

The need to leave the point I came to again and again

It didn't matter how hard I tried

It took so long to claim that I knew how

Or what it meant to let go of this

To ever say goodbye

Call it destiny, call it fate

Chose my direction: Running forward

Each life to learn anew, whatever may come
