What if we just left our Sun traveling behind
Could you see us surviving all throughout the night
How many days would it take for us to notice
With our faces dimly lit, yet blinded by the light
What would people say? If we threw it all away
Oh, you're crazy
You'll never make me
This light of mine made me, oh it made me
Someday when I leave
When this world is changing
This light of mine will paint all my memories
Imagine somewhere in your mind
A place where people imagine pictures in their minds
And children laugh and sing with no useless warnings
Making up their games outside, not blinded by the light
I promise they will say
Oh, you're crazy
You can't just let them be
You'll just hurt their feelings, oh their feelings
Someday when they leave
I can guarantee
They'll see the safety that their light brings
I don't want to waste my time reminiscing in the years
I don't want to stand in line for a crowd of empty cheers
What will people say? If I threw it all away
Oh, you're crazy
You'll never make it
You're better off living behind the drapery
But someday when I leave
I hope that I will see
There's more to our lives than what that light brings
