lyrics

Here comes the light again making colors through raindrops in the air
The eyes of all the crowds below, marveled in their own mysterious way
Because such a thing is rarely seen
And in the weakest eyes it's something beautiful

I'm reminded of the days that would take me away
Leaving nothing there for me to hold.
The innocence is hurried as everything becomes waves and pools
And for years i've tried and now I realize
Looking in your eyes is something beautiful
It's something beautiful

Now you thumb through past persuasions for a vague resemblance of a dream
Like that day you died and realized life wasn't what it seemed
It was something new to your eyes.
In your mind it's something beautiful

It took many days to realize that there was love somewhere deep inside
As we saw the world—and its wicked ways—everyone was happy that day
Just to be alive
Just to be alive
