Eighteen years and I see the light
The sun rises from her slumber
Breathing in a breath I thought I'd lose
I see a light and it's bright, so bright
Unknown hands fitting into my own
Stumbling on a path into the pines
I'm warm and I'm free
And I know I'm not alone
Smile upon my face and see
The light shines so bright
Finally free, finally me
The sun blinks back with both eyes
Comfort in the sound of my heartbeat
Solace in the knowledge of my breaths
Diving deep into the abyss
A light that will never fade for me
You're known and safe and comforted
I am me and that's okay
You are you, and that's alright too
I see you in the crowd and we're connected
Smile upon my face and see
The light shines so bright
Finally free, finally me
The sun blinks back with both eyes
I see my life, my destiny
And I smile at the sun with my soul
And she smiles back
