Today I saw
What I truly desire
As I was watching the setting sun
I could feel my strength get higher
It lifted me up
From my broken shell of a self
I did it on my own
I did it by myself
I could see the waters
Shine brightly with the sun
I realized I wasn't alone
I wasn't the only one
I could watch my reflection
And see the change
Everything I've ever known
Started to rearrange

I realized I'm alright
I'm okay
Even if I'm alone
I'll always be able to stay awake
And watch the sun rise
I can watch the sun set
As the dawning light dies
And the darkness forms up in the sky
There's no need to cry
Because I'll always have this

Today I watched the world spin by
I watched the mistakes I made
Time after time
But it's alright
If I'm alone
I'm imperfect
But my soul is stone
It's alright to forget
It's okay to be alone
I'll just keep watching
The lights in the skies
I'll watch from day to night
As long as I have this
I'll be alright

I realized I'm alright
I'm okay
Even if I'm alone
I'll always be able to stay awake
And watch the sun rise
I can watch the sun set
As the dawning light dies
And the darkness forms up in the sky
There's no need to cry
Because I'll always have this

There's always this
This will always be
At least until the ground tumbles
And caves beneath me
I might have nothing else
But just myself
Yet I'll be okay
I'm always okay
