a lesson in alliteration.

some singers sing of sadness like it's part of the scene

if you're going, go with gladness if you're going without me

i hear a hope that i've been humming and i know it by heart
i laughed at lessons learned from leaving and i long for fresh starts
i hear a song that's sung in sorrow is the sweetest of psalms
if you're longing for allegiance than look no further at all

if a magnet makes a motion in the map of your mind
then the dread and dark inside me can be moved yet with time
if a rock that's rolled away remakes all that i see
then the corpse that i've been carrying is not a burden to me

though i've never seen the seaside i still know it exists
i own the idea of the ocean without taking part in its bliss
i wish the waves would wash within me just as well as without
i feel the farthest i can fathom is a life with more faith than with doubt

if aurorae borialis started back in the deep
if the flares that fired the faithfull we're once within the suns reach
holding ships that sail the sunlight just as well as the wind
the same breeze that blows and billows will breach the beaches of man

i hear a hope that i've been humming and i know it by heart
i laughed at lessons learned from leaving and i long for fresh starts
i hear a song that's sung in sorrow is the sweetest of psalms
if you're longing for allegiance than look no further at all
