Shattered Glass

I closed my eyes and saw the light
Twixt the lines that brought the truth
Only dark can fence this out
Only light can now break through
Across the endless iron ocean
Across the rolling fields of green
I watched the sun set in a blaze of fire
And I knew
There’s so much more that’s to be held
Break the bonds that hold you tight
Wash the darkness from your eyes
Open up and see the sun on the green, green grass
The world is more than you can know
The sky is wider than you dream
Eternity is there in every glance of tired eyes
So feel the snowflakes on your skin
Breathe the crisp frost in the air
Hear the laughing of the clear cold mountain stream
And hold tight to the things that make this world alive
For without them there is nothing
Touch once more the things that bind you
For without them you are nothing
Only shattered glass
