Beautiful Day Without You

“Living on my guard,
Wind is on my neck,
Sun is on my face:
A beautiful day without you.

Glory…
Fearless
Courage…
Like rays of gold
In all this decay,
How can I forget the pain?

Living on my guard,
Wind is on my neck,
Sun is on my face:
A beautiful day without you.

Glory…
Fearless
Courage…
Feel unspoiled
In this world.
Confiding beliefs:
Now can I?

I know my tragedy,
Notion took a bow,
Still I wonder how.
Morning-after rain,
Clear away the pain.

Then, after all, when all are gone
It’s plain to see just who we are,
In light of hate, the way we talk
And act in shame causing harm.
“Defend yourself and keep your guard!”
We realize we belong apart,
‘Cause beyond ties we’ve got ways of knowing.

When I’m alone and all are gone,
The pain, it leaves onto the sun.
In light of good I see myself
Approving things of everyday.
The open sky, the breathing stars
Will leave me calm in a world apart,
‘Cause in these times there’s no way of knowing.”

This was actually a spontaneous portrait that came out while we were doing other stuff, but I had something with this concept in mind and it went along perfectly with it, so here it is. Jonah has a charming smile, doesn’t he?
