about

Beauty is timeless, soul is timeless, the moment of epiphany feels like it goes on forever, but it makes your life shift in the flutter of an eyelash. Time is for the shoulda's and woulda's of the world. Leave it to them. The real stuff is beyond that. When there is no time there is no regret.

lyrics

Once I knew this girl
All barefeet and curls
She reached out to touch the face of a Sunflower
Under a summer sky turning
Suddenly without warning
A bumblebee hidden there taught her to fear
What she couldn't see

And time could stand still
She's never be that girl again
Cause it hurts to learn, it hurts to learn
But she turns toward the light

With a few more years
Prom night chandeliers
He reached out with a bright bouquet of Sunflowers
Under the blue moon yearning
Oh the first kiss burning
But after graduation she never saw him again

And time could stand still
And she'll never feel that thrill again
Cause it hurts to burn it hurts to burn
but you turn toward the light

If you could just stop thinking that you're ordinary
The world ain't gonna pop if you fill it with your dreams baby
And gravity's not gonna turn your face to the ground
Life is love or no life at all so start living

A few more turns of the world
Crow's feet and silver curls
Unwritten poetry falling like the petals of a Sunflower
But even on a cloudy morning
Sunflower still turning
And in it's face she finds a grace that she's always known.

And suddenly time stands still
And it's all so beautiful
Cause it hurts to learn, it hurts to burn
But we turn toward the light
We turn
Oh we turn
Yes we turn toward the light
