Songs the Night Sings
The Dark Element Lyrics

I used to wish and wonder everyday
In the past, I would daydream and ponder every day.

Close my eyes and see where it would take me
I would shut my eyes and imagine where my thoughts can lead me.

I'd get lost my dreams when I was a girl, was a child
As a young girl, I would become consumed with my dreams.

Restless heart and mind still open wide
Even with age, my heart and mind are still eager for adventure.

Running careless under clear and blue skies
I used to run free and without a care under the open skies.

Even then I did know that one day I would
I always suspected that one day I would be brave enough to leave.

Walk away from the ones who'd enslave me
I will remove myself from those who chain me down.

Every pain, every soul who would stain me
I will not let any person or pain break me.

Leave behind little town where I once swore
I will say goodbye to the small town where I vowed to never die.

I will never die here
I will venture out and experience life in different places.

Through the forest of green I will wonder
I will explore the lush greenery of the forest.

Underneath starry skies I will slumber
I will rest under the sky full of stars.

I will climb every hill, every mountain
I will conquer each obstacle that comes my way, big or small.

till' I've seen them all
Until I have fully experienced everything.

I wanna live the stories I write
I want to bring the stories I write to life through my experiences.

See the whole world with my own eyes
I want to witness the entire world firsthand.

Take the unknown trail
I will choose to go down uncharted paths.

And hear the songs the night sings
I want to listen to the sounds that the night brings.

I wanna feel the flame when it burns
I want to experience both the good and bad that comes with life.

Wanna feel the pain when it hurts
I want to feel what it's like to be hurt and to learn from it.

And now that I've seen just a little, not a lot
Even though I haven't seen much yet, I've learned a lot about myself.

But I know who I am and who I am not
I am self-aware and recognize who I am as a person, and who I am not.

I could weep for the ones who stumble through life like they're lost
I feel for those who seem to be lost in life.

Heedless hearts and eyes that must be blind
People that are careless and unaware of their surroundings.

Living joyless under pale and grey skies
Those who live life without any knd of excitement or emotions.

I just want them to know that right now they could
I want them to understand that they have the ability to change their lives.

Board the ship, hoist the sail, weigh the anchor
To take action and embark on a new journey.

Set a course right towards the horizon
To take a path towards the unknown and to embrace the future.

We can sail every sea, every ocean
We can travel to every corner of the earth.

till' we've seen them all
Until we've fully explored every part of this world.

I wanna live the stories I write
I want to embrace everything life has to offer and turn it into a story.

See the whole world with my own eyes
I want to see everything the world has to offer, without relying on others' experiences.

Take the unknown trail
To continuously explore the unexplored paths in life.

And hear the songs the night sings
To appreciate the small things in life and to take time to listen to the world around us.

I wanna feel the flame when it burns
To experience both the good and bad in life to the fullest.

Wanna feel the pain when it hurts
To grow and learn from difficult experiences.
