BENEATH THE NIGHT LIGHTS
In the making of a man...
It was underneath the night lights
Where the termites had their nuptials
And where our feets rhymed with the drumming of the rain
It was underneath the bright skies, that our little hearts skipped merrily
And our laughters echoed the hope of tomorrow
It was under the dazzling stars
That our futures felt so distant
And yet seemingly close
And our voices echoed the promises of a life untold
It was here that we dared to dream
Our minds gently wandering of what might be and what might not
It was here...
that we were made.
