As I sit the air has turned cool
The light of candles light my keys and I think
Hearing the sound's of life all around
Wondering if this is all a dream
I hear the sax as it moves my soul
The light from the pole just outside my window
I try to think of how I have come to be as I am this night
Or what the day tomorrow will show
Who is the other sitting much as I
Do they feel the loss of all that seems to pass
The moon barely at it's crest and seems not a star in the sky
Is it the light of the city which has made this mask
Another night I will pass the hours
The one ahead same as before
I look about my empty apartment
Wanting and wishing for so much more
A wish for a day of new promises
To break the chain's of a system I can not control
To sneak away in the darkness
To the one I wish so much I could hold
I find if this is a test
It is one I am feeling slowly giving way
To the world that has taken hold
In both the darkness and through the day
In this land which we are so free
Are we any different from the others far away
We have freedom to do as we wish in life
Yet all our court's want to do is play
Just to move on with life
To have the freedom maybe I once didn't see
It is a lessen I shall never forget
The day it is all given back to me
Yet this is just one night
A new tomorrow is but a few hours away
Will this be a day I feel a step ahead
Where I will for once feel it's warm embrace
I never give up the dream
For I know from life gone by
The many things life can bring to us all
Once we make it through this night
I find the person I hold inside
The hardest I have ever helped
With all the doubts and uncertain thoughts
The toughest is for sure myself
I shall though see that day
When my life is once again my own
To once again give my all to those I hold dearest
To assure them that they are not alone
