Much love to Elaine Lizardo for encouraging me to write lyrics to Bad Day Sunsets. As I figured out the lyrics, the song grew and became a whole new thing apart from the original instrumental. So I decided to give it a new title.

lyrics

You’re not the only one who dares to dream
Makes a wish, before you sleep
You see the stars, you love they shine brightly
Say to yourself, “That will be me”

Come let it in, don’t be afraid to say
“That you’re afraid,” it’ll melt away

So before you close your eyes, and drift drift away
Bring peace to your mind, and don’t forget to smile

You’re not the only one who dares to dream
Dream a world, where you are free
You roam around, you be what you be
No red lights, only green

Come let it in, embrace how you feel
You’re full of grace no one can ever steal

So before you close your eyes, and drift drift away
Bring peace to your mind, and don’t forget to smile
