About Face to the Horizon

This is a thankful dedication to my Horizon for helping me remember I was meant for more in life.

About Face to the Horizon

Shining brightly, as the horizon's flame

Broken, as the clouds in the sky

I, called by a different last name

You, my reminder of freedom and why

Gladly, I turned to face you, closer than ever

Since when did life feel this fantastic

To have seen it coming, I'd obviously never

I'd begun to believe the lies wrapped in plastic

One about face to the horizon and I knew

My motivation to leave, to hope, to grow

I knew that I'd find it all in you

Which means more to me than you could know 

Even if it all ended tonight, I'd turn away in thanks

With all the chats, laughs and motivation

For pushing me away from those stormy banks

And for reminding me that subjugation was not my station

I didn't leave for you, I left for myself

You simply helped me to realize

The real me was there on the top shelf

Hidden away from searching eyes

So, from the dusty cupboard you set me free

And I'm forever thankful for your role

Into the horizon, the only way I can see

You released my mind and helped release my soul
