Was it through the early summer rain
or in my mind that I heard you say,
like a sunbeam splitting the rainy sky,
“Your voice gives me strength”
So young and shining bright,
straightforward and focused
You made me proud, precious you are
At your mercy, I laughed and cried
If you ever lose your way
I will bring you back with these magic words
to the other side of the world
In the direction of the summer breeze
with my hope as your strength
I want you and nobody else
to run like the wind
Even if I lose my voice
I hope my message of love
echoes as your tailwind
To myself in twenty years,
I held a pen to write a letter
Full of things like hope and prayer
The future was painted with no cloudy days
The older and older we get, it becomes harder to see
the flicker of light, so I search for and collect them
The more I think about you
my heart starts to hurt
These tears most likely, I’m sure,
I need to treasure
Days that pass in a blink of an eye
insisting that this is youth
In the clear blue skies above
I can’t help but see you
Those evenings you feel frustrated
or even nights you feel alone
I’ll always be by your side
I’ll always be by your side
I hope my message of love
echoes as your tailwind
