From Shadows to Sunshine

You were fifteen when you left,
 and I was just a kid,
 nine years old, 
still thinking the world was small enough to hold us both.
 You said, "I can’t come back,"
 but I didn’t understand. 
I thought you were just going to be gone for a little while,
 that you’d come back,
 like you always did when things got hard. But you didn’t come back. 
And over the years,
 I stopped asking why.
 You built a life with someone I don’t even know,
 and the stories of you get smaller,
 fading between the spaces where we used to talk.
 You’re married now. 
I see the photos,
 and I don’t recognize the person you’ve become.
 I wonder if you even remember the girl
 who used to sit beside you, 
waiting for you to come home. I wish I could turn back time.
 I wish I could take back the moments I didn’t understand,
 when I thought there’d always be more time.
 I wish I’d paid attention when you were still here,
 when you were still my sister,
 and I didn’t know how precious those moments were.
 Maybe if I had,
 maybe if I’d known what was coming,
 I would have held on harder. But now you’re a stranger,
 someone I hear about but never really see.
 I can’t even remember the last time we sat down together. 
And our family doesn’t talk about you the way they used to.
 It’s like you’re a chapter that they don’t want to revisit, 
and I’m the only one still flipping through the pages,
 hoping to find something that feels like you. I want you to come back.
 I want to ask you everything I never thought to ask.
 I want to tell you I’m sorry 
for taking the time we had for granted. 
I didn’t know it would slip away so fast. But you said,
“I can’t come back,”
 and I wonder if you even remember
 what it was like to be here,
 with all of us,
 before everything changed. I wish I could turn back time.
 I wish I could go back to the way things were
 before I learned how to let go. I wish I could hold you tight and say, “I love you” just one more time

[Verse] Sackboy trapped inside the storm Despair's voice a wicked form Echoes in the silent air Whispers haunting everywhere [Verse 2] Chaos dances in the dark Muted screams leave their mark Master’s games an endless tide Running but I cannot hide [Chorus] Bound by strings and master's call I rise just to watch me fall In the shadows lost and cold Warrior of fabric torn and old [Verse 3] Desperate moves in twisted scene Haunted by what could have been Every leap a dare in vain Every turn brings twisted pain [Chorus] Bound by strings and master's call I rise just to watch me fall In the shadows lost and cold Warrior of fabric torn and old [Bridge] Tangled threads of fate's cruel hand In a world I don’t understand Searching for my voice to find To break free from a twisted mind

And you were dead in your trespasses and sins, in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience. Among them we too all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest. But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.

[Verse] A beautiful redhead with a radiant glow Striking that smile that makes the stars show Lately she's been bangin' on the drums real loud Just passed her driving test feeling mighty proud [Verse 2] She rolls down the street in her shiny new ride Windows down laughter echoing wide Folks on the sidewalk can't help but glance That redhead's got that magic dance [Chorus] Redhead dreams never go out of style She’s got her vibe like a river and a mile Her friends are lizards she’s a little wild Living life free just like a child [Verse 3] She beats the rhythm while her heart beats fast Living in the present no ties to the past Her lizard mates they lounge in the sun She’s on a journey and she’s just begun [Chorus] Redhead dreams never go out of style She’s got her vibe like a river and a mile Her friends are lizards she’s a little wild Living life free just like a child [Bridge] By the drumsticks she finds her way In the front seat she's here to stay From sunset to the morning break Redhead’s got what it takes

[Verse] Wake up coffee cold stare at the screen Nine to five grind feels like a bad dream Kids with their mom weekend looks bleak But I find some solace in that yellow geek [Chorus] Watchin' SpongeBob with tears in my eyes Laughin' through the pain I can't disguise Square pants hero in a pineapple dome Takes me far away from my broken home [Verse 2] Flippin' burgers at the Krusty Krab Wishin' life was better it's kinda drab Cartoon sea world distractions clear From the reality that I'm stuck here [Chorus] Watchin' SpongeBob with tears in my eyes Laughin' through the pain I can't disguise Square pants hero in a pineapple dome Takes me far away from my broken home [Bridge] He's got his friends he's got his dreams Life's simpler or so it seems Down in Bikini Bottom's tide No one knows the hurt I hide [Verse 3] Gary snail be like my lonely soul Wanderin' aimless in the same ol' hole Wishin' I could have their carefree ways Instead of these dark cloudy days

[Verse] I am old I do what I'm told Life's a bomb never controlled Watch the sparks ignite the sky Massive explosion as I fly [Verse 2] Time's a thief robbed me blind Wrinkles deep carved my mind Chains of age dragging me down Still I rise don't need no crown [Chorus] I don't care if you want me to die Scream it loud till it reaches the sky And I eat apple pie with a grin Live my life free of sin [Verse 3] Memories fade faces go My heart beats slow real slow Dust and bones but I still roar Life's a war I can't ignore [Bridge] Ghosts of past haunt my days Shadows dance in twisted ways Lost in the maze of olden times Still singing these ragged rhymes [Chorus] I don't care if you want me to die Scream it loud till it reaches the sky And I eat apple pie with a grin Live my life free of sin
