Healing Sunlight

I'm looking for sunlight, with rays that will cure me,

From the pain that weighs me down, a burden hard to carry,

The pain that keeps my lungs tight, a weight that's too heavy to bear,

I wander and wonder, seeking a cure, an answer, a prayer.


I yearn for the warmth of the sun, the healing touch of its light,

To chase away the darkness, the shadows that haunt me at night,

I need the sun's radiance, its warmth, a solace to my heart,

To rip away the pain, the hurt, the tears that keep us apart.


The sunshine that once danced on my skin, now feels so far away,

I can't help but wonder if I'll ever see the light of day,

The clouds above, so heavy, so dark, the rain that never stops,

The world around so bleak, so gray, a never-ending swamp.


But still, I search for sunlight, for a beacon of hope,

To ease the hurt, the sorrow, the pain that I cannot cope,

To find the strength, the fortitude, to stand up once again,

To heal my broken heart, and mend the soul that's been in pain.


And when I find that healing light, I'll stand beneath the sun,

I'll bask in the glory of its warmth, until the darkness is gone,

I'll feel the sunlight on my skin, the wind against my face,

And I'll know that I have found my cure, in the beauty of this place.


So I'll keep searching for sunlight, with rays that will cure me,

From the pain that keeps my lungs tight, a burden that's too heavy,

And I'll find my healing through the sunshine, through its warmth and light,

And I'll rise again, healed and whole, bathed in the beauty of its sight.
