More to Life

Embraced by the sun, carried into the light
Laughing at fear, doing as I may
Warmth in the winter, light in the shadows
Joy not pain, no more dismay

Tired of the dark, see the smile so wide
Dream of Paradise, you maybe me
Stepping out of nightmares, into brighter worlds
Have I finally arrived, can it be?

I've chased away chaos, buried the horrors
I have found that X, and dug as far as I can
The last days tempting, on the brink of reality
But I reach that treasure, buried deep in the sands

I have changed my thoughts, good not evil
I can think of sugar plums, dancing in my head
In this mind of death, destruction, and despair
I have found life, living for the dead

Things may not be clear, life may not be fair
The world may end today, carrying with it me
I have found that treasure, on my Paradise
I realize there is more to life, life I can now see
