The heaven

 

I thought I was worn out.. 

A lifeless body and a lifeless smile.. 

Clueless what it was all about... 

I thought I have been standing dead for a while... 

 

Just then, you came along... 

Crossed my way... 

And you made me believe...

That I didn't fray... 

 

And that a heaven still exists... 

It can reform me again... 

As I can see it exists in every bit of you... 

That it can wash away all my pain... 

 

 

I thought I was left all alone... 

A deprived soul and a deprived heart... 

Aimlessly trying to walk forward... 

In the haphazard streets of this enormous earth... 

 

Just then, you came along... 

You rebuilt me to be strong... 

And you made me believe...

That I can emerge right from all that was wrong... 

 

And that a heaven still exists... 

It can reform me again... 

As I can see it exists in every bit of you... 

That it can wash away all my pain...
