lyrics

The sun sets over the Waitaks
A deep orange paints the sky
The sun fades; the night comes
The lights around me reflect houses, reflecting people,
Reflecting lives quietly moving
Behind doors of which I’ll never know
The ever-changing sense of ebb and flow
From joy to pain; rage to praise; grace to blame

We all move in ebbs and flows
These hills look down on us, a quiet mist
Reminding of a time when these lights didn’t exist
What stood before them; a land of peace
Before these lights revealed our brokenness
Before these lights revealed our transience

These clouds always bring rain
I hope one day they’ll wash these streets to look brand new
And give this land the peace it once held to
Cos’ I don’t wanna keep bleeding our frustrations

But this sunset still sets how it always did
Framing us within the constant and the good
Our reflection of goodness and beauty is not our own
For this mirror was never a mirror but a window
