Song Description

This is a song I wrote for a friend after learning that she had been fighting and giving in to suicidal impulses.

Lyrics

Come on, get up
You're gonna make it through this hell
You don't belong here
And you know it
You can't believe
The things you've been saying to yourself
'Cuz I wont,
Not for a moment

Wake up! What are you waiting for the sun is shining?
Face love! You're gonna find it on a sun-kissed morning

It's not all your fault
It's just the way the world goes 'round
What's the use now
In blaming?
'Cuz we all mess up
We're all face down on the ground
Everyone's searching
For the same thing

Wake up! What are you waiting for the sun is shining?
Face love! You're gonna find it on a sun-kissed morning
Get up! Do you feel the dark has gone the day is dawning?
Look up! Down with the rainclouds, up with the silver lining!

The light of day is breaking, taking place of all the shadowy shapes
The monsters no one dares to name, and the mistakes no one cares to claim
Ashamed of closet doors unclosed, and faces burried in pillows
Expose yourself to the morning light and watch these ghost-lit fears take flight, "Away!"

Wake up! What are you waiting for the sun is shining?
Face love! You're gonna find it on a sun-kissed morning
Get up! Do you feel the dark has gone the day is dawning?
Look up! Down with the rainclouds, up with the silver lining!
Down with the rainclouds, up with the silver lining!

Goodnight, sweet dreams
I don't mind waiting 'til you sleep
I love to watch you
When you're breathing
If we wake up
Somebody prayed our souls to keep
If just for today
There's a reason
