Based off a grouping of words that for some reason came out in improvisation and sounded cool enough that they needed to work even if they seemed to have no relevance. This song is about taking a terrible moment and turning it into something beautiful - what art often does.

lyrics

Never thought this would be
Something that passes my mind
How wonderful to see
Past the limits of time

There's more to life than this
My ego will fade like the rest
My heart beats through my chest
For this beauty I can't resist

Open my eyes to the valley of the sun

Like a wave lost at sea
In search of the water
We're all too blind to see
The wonder that is just upon the shore

I'll fight the ignorance
That hinders all the bliss
Just so that I can taste
Mother nature's gentle kiss
I've only come halfway
And there's still so many days
That I have left to feel
This world's saving grace

Open my eyes to the valley of the sun

Well it burns and it breaks
There's no time left to waste
To understand the pain
The brightness soothes your inner soul
There's no such thing as young and old
There's just today, my friend

Open my eyes to the valley of the sun
