Still Reaching

Some folks shine when they walk in a room, But I just fade Into the blue. Kept my dreams under lock and key. Too many things I never let Them see. I've been quiet, I've been small. Like the sky when the shadows fall. But deep inside, there's a light I Keep. It burns low, But it never sleeps. Still reaching, Though the night is long. Though the night is long. Still hoping For where I belong. Hold the heavy air. Through the silence. Through the silence. Through the fear. Through the fear. I keep walking. I keep walking. Year by year. They don't see the storm I hide. All the hurt I learned to ride. But like clouds above the hill, I'm moving slow, but I'm moving still. Still reaching. Still reaching. Like the morning light. Like the morning light. Breaking gently. Breaking gently. Through the fight. Through the fight. Still breathing. Still breathing. Still alive. Still alive. Still dreaming. Past the night.
