The Cage (Aurora Borealis)

lyrics

Yesterday’s clouds mourn the passing
Defiant clouds pass the morning
They tore down the building so long ago
Long before they put up the cage

Collecting stories only miles apart
Miles apart, yet half a world away
Reaching far beyond the dancing trees
Reaching into the heart of the sun

Around the universe
Behind Orion’s spinning arms
And you breathe a sigh for two
And your hope rests in the bottle that you threw beyond the stars
Aurora Borealis takes you there

Majestic shadows over Steeplechase
Dreamland’s gone, but not so far away
Unexistent to the passers on the beach
The flame’s in the hand of her native sons

Around the universe
Behind Orion’s spinning arms
And you breathe a sigh for two
And your hope rests in the bottle that you threw beyond the stars
Aurora Australis takes you there

Isn’t it wonderful?
The mystery of life, the ageless competition
The world is mine to win if I find you in my arms and hold you
Forever
Today
