Lyrics
How beautiful is this day
When everything familiar has changed
A crash is only thunder, a spray only rain
No need to take shelter, there’s no threat of pain
How beautiful is this evening
When time is not on my mind
The cage has blown open, the wires unwind
No need to take shelter, no reason to cry
Chorus:
Holding on to the moment when I can finally breathe
Fighting for this daydream
When I wake up in peace
How beautiful is this night
When nothing else pierces the sky
There’s only starlight and the moon
No need to take shelter, there’s nothing to fight
How perfect is this night
When the only sound alive
The whisper of a lover, a baby’s sigh
No need to take shelter, no reason to hide
Chorus:
Holding on to the moment when I can finally breathe
Fighting for this daydream
When I wake up in peace
How precious is this morning
When the iron wall is gone
I’m finally breathing, a quiet unknown
No need to take shelter
I’m finally home.
