A cinnamon-stick ray of sunlight falls through the window
Sticking to the walls
Looking like a million miles
Carrying a million smiles
Resting right here for a while
Do you remember this?
I used to play with it
It would shake me out of bed with warm hands
Each little ray of light contained a message
Written in a language only I could understand
And every morning meant the day'd be infinite
And I would be anointed king of undiscovered lands
And I went across the river
And through doorways in the trees
And the sunlight transformed everything
Into possibilities
I wanted Agatha to play with me
She was afflicted with being too much inside
And when she agreed to spend the day with me
I showed her how to follow the light
And we went across the river
And through doorways in the trees
And the sunlight transformed everything
Into possibilities
Yota, I know you remember
You were out there too
Tell me, what did you do?
Who were you?
When I was young, I was betrothed
It was arranged without my say
But I decided then I would never be owned
I ran away
And I went across the river
And through doorways in the trees
To the sunlight's call
Beyond the walls that couldn't hold me
So I went across the river
And through doorways in the trees
And the sunlight transformed everything
Into possibilities
When I went across the river
Where the light seemed to shine more
I thought I saw myself more clearly than before
Don't you see?
It's good to be free
Let's go back into the light
Why can't we?
