Available Light

I spent so many years in shadows
Instead of available light
So many different faces
But none of them felt right

And then you looked my way
And I swear I saw the sun rise
Like the dawning of a new age
Right there before my own eyes

You were standing on the corner
Where sorrow and pleasure live
You said there ain’t no hope for me here any longer
It’s time now for us to forgive

And when I looked your way
I swear I saw the sunrise
When your hair blew across your face
It finally made me realize 

Where there’s available light
We will walk hand-in-hand
We’ll be free to just be 
And we will learn to see
Everything
Everything

Come here now
Don’t push me away
Open your folded things baby
Stay here now
And we will see
All those shadows release

There’s this old Indian song
And I swear it’s a prayer for us
May our days on earth be long
May we finish this road in trust

On that road we’re driving
With love our only guide
Knowing the only way forward is through
Although we’ve already arrived in 

The available light
Where we walk hand-in-hand
Together and free we can just be 
And we’ve learned to see
Everything
