Let us be

From the night,
Came a light.
From the shadow,
An arrow,
Piercing my heart,
I will no longer be apart.

Did you know?
Did you know?
Did you expect?
Did you project?
Were you waiting for me?
Or is it fate letting us be?

Not so long ago,
I wouldn’t have dared to smile,
Too many things wrong could go,
Happiness was so fragile.

But now I feel the lift of the curse coming,
I am no longer in pain,
Let it be a new beginning,
So that all was not vain.

From the fight,
Came the might.
From the sorrow,
No more blow,
Heading my way.
I will no longer be astray.

Did you pray?
Did you pray?
Did you hope?
Did you cope?
Were you rooting for me?
Or were you just letting it be?

Not so long ago,
I wouldn’t have dared to smile,
Too many things wrong could go,
Happiness was so fragile.

But now I feel the lift of the curse coming,
I am no longer in pain,
Let it be a new beginning,
So that all was not vain.

From your sight,
Came delight.
From my row,
Quite a show,
Inviting peace to my head.
I will no longer know dread.

Did you dream?
Did you dream?
Did you vision?
Did you fashion?
Are you still there for me?
If only you would let us be.

Because it is not that long ago,
That I have dared meet your smile,
Now so many things right can go,
Happiness is so agile.

I hear footsteps, you’re coming
Let me cure all your pain,
This can be a new beginning,
The shining sun after the rain.

The night,
A light,
Your sight,
What delight!
No more sorrow,
In the new tomorrow.
Project and fashion,
Dreams of vision.
Pray and hope,
Know and cope,
Let us be,
Let us be.
