lyrics

Sunlight ebbs and flows
The glow rolls across the floor
like a breath,
Fills the house with warmth then recedes

Eery sparkle, the same images gleam through the screens
around the house, the town, the nation

The present came chasing out

Clash the crashing cycles present now and future

Ghosts reemerge, chanting for justice
From mouths fly chants, songs of sorrow cross generations
 
Tragedy rippling through layers of time

The possibility to exist in a brief moment
To bare joy when justice has yet to return homebound

Acidity of sun
Rolling through the moments to afford bliss, despite
Welcomes joy not as contrast but reaffirms
To anchor purpose
