Like The Sun You'll Scorch The Earth

She came to this world with the eyes of a sky on fire
Her flame flickering like a moon across a summer sea
A diary into her hidden heart’s desire
That led her to the place she wanted to be

Pressed between the pages of the days gone by
Are the sounds of laughter and the stains of the tears she shared
You wonder if she were a bird where she would fly
To the highest mountaintop she would have dared

Instead she lent comfort to those so alone
Instead she did her best to turn her house to a home
She proved a gentle heart from the moment of her birth
And then, like the sun, she scorched the earth

Listen to the angels singing on the silent winds
Hear their wings whispering on the bending breeze
Telling you that beauty only again begins
When you allow yourself to see what you need to see

And when you understand there is nothing that you lack
And when you realize you would take nothing back
You’ll prove a broken heart until you remember what her love was worth
And then, like the sun, you’ll scorch the earth

Yes, then, like the sun, you'll scorch the earth
