to say goodbye

to love, to feel

to sing and dance

to fall in love

or to love again

to think, to write

to give or take

from those to know

to the ones who fake

to scream or jump

to fall asleep

to work all day

for yours to feed

to wonder why

and never try

to stand again

to only cry

there's love and hate

there's much to take

there's a lot to learn

from just one mistake

so when the flower dies

and the color is gone

take a minutes worth time

to watch it bloom

to grow, to crawl

to shiver and shake

give to one a blanket to keep

in return that you'll stay warm

to see, to die

to mourn, or sigh

there's a world ahead

in a dark rainbow sky

there are plenty of words, or songs, or rhymes

and a million ways that you could say goodbye

but for all our dreams we only have one chance

to let the colors rise

to let the words flow through

to let the love in you

become a part of the world, to let easier said goodnight
