Shining a While Songtext
von Fractal Cypher

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 every day 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 ride

As a man
He shuts the light down as fast as he can
Even the starlight cannot soothe his great pain
By the window
Nothing but the visions 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
Everyday 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
Everyday taking time to relief from our sins
Listening carefully to the signs that show us where to go


Unconsciously
Turn a piece from a dream
Until all that remains is an empty gleam
Unconsciously
We let our childhood disappear
The child inside us grows
We stand in line in order to make for tomorrow

Can you just remember the last time you laughed
Until you lose your breath instead of faking a 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 whileUnconsciously

The sky fades from our dreams
Until all that remains is an empty gleam

And consciously
We let the childhood disappear
The chime inside us grows
We stand in line for the next one to follow
Can you just remember the last time you laughed
Until you lose your breath instead of faking a 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
