Bright

Alan R

What is in this seeking?

Why isn't it joy?

Christmas lights of Vienna 

Making me cry

What's in this seeking?

Why am I at war?

Windmills of Amsterdam 

Laughing at my scars

In the drunk streets of Milan

Is this seeking justified?

Holding my eyes from

Bleeding through the sky

And tomorrow it's Prague

Is this seeking a reward?

Hands to hold me right

That don't choke me 

For burning bright.
