Silver Streak

Verse 1:

Floating in deep blue oceans

my dreams struggle to reap

I am haunted by gloomy strums

echoing in my broken sleep

Verse 2: 

Burning shadows rage in hollows

wailing to the darkness of night

my heart pierced by blazing agony

Oh! My eyes look for a light

  Chorus:

   I hold on to a thread of hope

    when my spirit seems too weak

  a soothing breeze in fiery storms

   uplifts my courage so bleak

In roaring thunderstorms I see

  black clouds fade in silver streak

And it gleams my faint waves

  hope simmers to reach a blessed peak

Verse 3: 

Nightmares of buried doubts

chilling the marrow in bones

smoke rises to shape silence

falling in water like stones

Verse 4:

Unfolding vermilion scars of past

pulled me down all these years

I've learnt to drown with them

borders beyond my dry tears

Chorus:

I hold on to a thread of hope

  when my spirit seems too weak

a soothing breeze in fiery storms

  uplifts my courage so bleak

In roaring thunderstorms I see

  black clouds fade in silver streak

And it gleams my faint waves

  hope simmers to reach a blessed peak

Bridge:

Hope it is that lights my path

Hope it was that led my journey

Hope it will be that stays again

tearing dark clouds till eternity

to unleash a silver lining I believe

Chorus:

I hold on to a thread of hope

  when my spirit seems weak

   (Fading fears melt in gleaming hopes)

a soothing breeze in fiery storms

  uplifts my courage so bleak

   (black clouds fade in silver streak)

In roaring thunderstorms I see

  black clouds fade in silver streak

   (hope simmers to reach a blessed peak)

And it gleams my faint waves

  hope simmers to reach a blessed peak

   (my hope is a gleaming silver streak)

     my hope is a gleaming silver streak...

     (Until chorus fades)
