lyrics

I see the sun’s out
And my mind is clear
Time to reprogram
For my next sphere

I had to suffer
To get where I am
Through of how this year
Broke down my dam

My fears washed on me
Had to break my shield
The sun shines down on me
As I walk this field

Through all the nonsense
Of playing the game
I had to ask the question
What is my name

I kept on looking
To see myself in the mirror
Gazed at my own self
Now it seems so clear

My dreams
I got to chase them while I can
Move on
I got to move on from this land

Heading to the sea
Nothing behind me

As I walk down here
Where the view is blind
I’ll keep on searching
Wonder what I’ll find

Now the sun is shining
And the grass is growing
Everybody’s coming out to play
It’s part of a cycle
We put on our titles
As we come out to enjoy this day

I have been though so much
Feels like I need a crutch
I've swapped faces with someone
Seems like it can't be undone

All my life
It comes clear

When I take a break here and rest my tired feet
I can think of all the feelings that I will meet
When I'm done in this chair I'll take a walk outside
Straight into the sunlight and take another stride
