underneath the stars
It is all very well, when the pen flows, but then there are the dark days when imagination deserts one, and it is an effort to put anything down on paper. That little you have achieved stares at you at the end of the day, and you know the next morning you will have to scrape it down and start again. ~Elizabeth Aston

Dreaming Out Loud

Hello world hope you're listening:
forgive me if I'm young
and speaking out of turn.
There's someone I've been missing.
I think that they could be
the better part of me.

They're in their own place trying to make it right
But I'm tired of justifying
so I say to you

Come home, come home,
'cos I've been waiting for you
for so long, so long.
'Cos right now there's a war between the vanities,
and all I see is you and me.
The fight for you is all I've ever known,
so come home.

I get lost in the beauty of everything I see;
The world ain't half as bad as they paint it to be.
If all the sons, all the daughters
stopped to take it in,
well hopefully the hate subsides and the love can begin.

It might start now,
or maybe I'm just dreaming out loud,
but until then

Come home, come home,
'cos I've been waiting for you
for so long, so long.
'Cos right now there's a war between the vanities,
and all I see is you and me.
The fight for you is all I've ever known,
so come home.

Everything I can't be,
is everything you should be,
and that's why I need you here.
Everything I can't be,
is everything you should be,
and that's why I need you here.
So hear this now

Come home, come home,
'cos I've been waiting for you
for so long, so long.
'Cos right now there's a war between the vanities,
and all I see is you and me.
The fight for you is all I've ever known,
so come home.

When you look in a mirror, what do you see? Do you see the person you can be, the person you want to be, and the person you are now? Maybe life is just a journey to reconcile these three parts of you. But then, can all three become one? We should always be fearful of what we can be, cautious of what we want to be and mindful of what we have become. Suddenly, living life to the fullest doesn't seem to be so easy after all.~Zhongy~
