Some time ago, a six-year-old Boy lays dying at the hospital. Unable to recovery from the sickness that would eventually claim his life, he drifts off into a comma. While delirious, he dreams of his guardian angel—a being of light and life that he has encountered countless times throughout his short life. Calling to him, the boy follows, slipping further and further from reality until he finds himself in a magical, marvelous, other-realm…
Many years later, a disturbed Man is falling, after committing suicide from jumping off a building. During the event in where time seems to stand still, he ponders his life before that blackness surrounds him.
lyrics
I can feel my own body, it’s falling,
Time has no meaning and is still.
A memory, a recollection,
Life separates from conscious will.
Mother have you seen the child?
The one you lost so long ago?
I’m crying out, can you hear my voice?
My story is; yet to be told.
Leave me be; to die with this pain,
A young man’s life that is left to the un-sane.
It’s just a memory of life before,
An action that left nothing…
to ignore.
I don’t want be like this,
Please can you help me?
I know I can find my way
I can find my way back home…
