I wish that smiles at sunrise

could become reality and really seen

on one hand we try to hold back

and are afraid of letting go

on the other we're just afraid

this may leave us nothing more to show

why do things have to be so complex

and our thoughts so confused?

is it that we've got to comfortable

or are we just afraid of being used?

a decision of such magnitude

is not an easy one to cross

for if not in the right direction

a better future could be lost

the future I have dreamed of

has always been at hand

it's just the time wasn't right

to take that final stand

but when the time is right

if the turn I make isn't wrong

there will be smiles at sunrise

that will last all day long
