LYRICS: 

Lightning, the speed of lightning, traveling lightning: life. 
Hoping, just keep on hoping, it knows you're hoping: life. 
Listen! It knows you're listening; because you listen, you'll live. 

Beyond the wooden sky, there's light. Just feel the yellow sun and close your eyes. Speak words into the winds- they'll fly away from all these lies, and you will see. It's brighter. 

Looking at this reflection with no exceptions: life. 
Favors the empty promise- so chilled with darkness: lies 
But hold on not to the promise, instead, to solace of now; illusions will win tomorrow and fill with sorrow: right now. 

Beyond the wooden sky, there's light. Just feel the yellow sun and close your eyes. Speak words into the winds- they'll fly away from all these lies, and you will see. It's brighter.
