about

Sometimes it's necessary to look at the darkness and shadow to see things clearly.

lyrics

Too long I've been sitting comfortably and
Too long I've been walking with ease
Too long I've been waiting patiently
To make sense of all I see
I want to sort out the light and dark and
I want to see myself clear
I want to be free of the false light
That hides the shadow of fear

I'm waiting for the fog to lift
Sometimes grey skies are quite the gift
Blocking out the blinding lies and light
So I can set these shadows right

I've been told that I am a wild one and
I've been told that I am good
I've been told that I am a solid rock
The turth is I splinter like wood

And I'm waiting for the fog to lift
Sometimes grey skies are quite the gift
Blocking out the blinding lies and light
So I can set these shadows right

Soaring too long with my head in the clouds
I've seen far more than is sound
The heat of the sun has melted my wings
And I must find some solid ground

I got lost when others were doubting me an
I got lost when friends went astray
I got lost when my fire was growing dim
But I will relight it today
Time to dance with the shadow and shade
Time to stand up to wrong
Time to march to the beat of my drum
And find the answers in song

I'm ready for the fog to lift
Sometimes grey skies are quite the gift
Blocking out the blinding lies and light
So I can set these shadows right
I'm ready for the fog to life
Sometimes grey skies are quite the gift
Blocking out the blinding lies and light
So I can set these shadows right
