Sitting up high on the edge

Her feet dangle carelessly 

As if tempting fate 

To pull her into the open air

But she's not afraid

Not afraid of falling

Cause she knows she can fly

Fly away to a place

Void of heartache and pain

Where the roads sparkle gold

And the crystal towers are dazzling 

Up there everyone travels with 

Their own pair of wings 

Every single one beautiful 

Existing with only happiness and love

 

But still she sits

Continuing to inhabit a world full of so much pain

Knowing that she's needed here

She's someone's angel

Even without the wings

So she stays

Willing herself to see through the misery

And see how much beauty this world contains

Because there's no point if existing

If you don't let yourself see the sunrise 

Hidden under the layer of clouds

So she waits 

Knowing she'll get her wings someday

But for now, she needs nothing else

 

Just know that the most beautiful sunrises

Do come from the sky filled with more clouds

Just as happiness is more accented

After living through the pain

 

Cause how else would we have a rainbow

If not without the rain?
