Thought That I'd Be Alright

THOUGHT THAT I'D BE ALRIGHT

WRITTEN BY: J.R HILTON

2017

TIME RUSHES ON

BEYOND WHAT YOUTH COULD UNDERSTAND

IT NEVER DRAGS, IT NEVER WAITS

IT'S NEVER STILL OR HESITATES

IT WON'T BE ANY DIFFERENT

BUT IT WILL NEVER BE THE SAME

SHIFTING LIKE SAND, CHANGING LIKE SKYLIGHT

THERE'S NO AVOIDING

THE RHYTHM'S OF UNCERTAINTY

THE PULSE OF THE UNIVERSE

FOR EVERYTHING COMES A DAY

MY MEMORIES CHIPPED AND FADED

SLIPPING AWAY AND JADED

LIKE A BURNING SUNSET FADING

INTO THE DARK OF A SUMMER NIGHT

I THOUGHT THAT I'D BE ALRIGHT

I COULD USE A LITTLE SLEEP

SEND ME MOONBEAMS

SEND ME SWEET DREAMS

THROUGH MY OPEN WINDOW

MOON IN THE GARDEN, WAXING FULL

LIKE A SEASONED SENTRY

A KEEPER OF TIME

INSIDE IT'S MYSTIC GLOW 

OUTSIDE IT'S CONFINES

NIGHTINGALE, ON THE VALE

CALLING IT A DAY

THE SKY FILLS UP WITH ENDLESS STARS

WHILE SOLAR WINDS AT REST

FRAGILE FLOWERS CLOSE PETALS TIGHT

CHARGE UP FOR THE MORROWS SUN

IMMORTAL IN NATURE, A LEGEND IN IT'S TIME

WISHED THAT I COULD OF SAVED MORE OF MINE

BUT HOW WAS I TO KNOW

NOCTURNAL CREATURES, GREAT AND SMALL

PROWL THE NIGHT

A SCREECH A HOWL

THE FLIGHT OF AN OWL

SHATTERS THE CALM AND FADES AWAY 

TIME PASSES WITH UNINTERRUPTED RIGIDITY

RIGHT TO THE STARTING OF ANOTHER DAY

DAWN BREAKS THE SPELL

THE SKY IS GLOWING, ORANGE AND GOLD

COME ON NOW, IT'S TIME TO GO

TIME WAITS FOR NO ONE, THAT INTERRUPTS IT'S FLOW

THOUGHT THAT I'D BE ALRIGHT

NOW I'M NOT SURE

I DON'T REALLY KNOW
