Mesmerized (new lyrics test) version 2
Verse 1:
A bright light shines straight ahead
But my, doubts make the darkness hard to leave
Will there be water food, and shelter
Wonder if above there’s air to breath
(Going above armed with nothing but hope)
As my eyes adjust the truth is revealed
(Sun’s light for the first time hits my face)
My eyes open to a wild flower field
Refrain:
I am mesmerized,
Mesmerized
Mesmerized
Verse 2:
There is water everywhere; it is clear
So clear, see fish swim in a school
Watch the sun as it leaves the sky is
A breeze is refreshing and cool
In the distance mountains with snow
See waves crash onto the shore
A lush forest full of the color green
Not a single sign of a long ago war
Refrain:
I am mesmerized,
Mesmerized
Mesmerized
Verse 3:
The moon and stars shine so bright
Crickets songs so peaceful and calm
(Shivering…my fear in the darkness falls away)
(As) The sun repeats its breathtaking dawn
Seagulls fly and fill the blue sky
(Blinded by the tears in my eyes)
Realize, I have been told lies
Mesmerized by this surprise
Refrain:
I am mesmerized,
Mesmerized
Mesmerized
Mesmerized

But my, doubts make the darkness hard to leave
Thoughts turn to water food, and shelter
Wonder if above there’s air to breath

In the distance mountains with snow
See waves crash onto the shore
A lush forest full of the color green

Watch the sun as it leaves the sky
Taste the water refreshing and cool
I am mesmerized, mesmerized,mesmerized

But my, Doubts make the darkness hard to leave
Thoughts turn to water food, and shelter
Wonder if above there’s air to breath
We go above armed with nothing but hope

Not a single sign of a long ago war
I run down to the water; it is clear
Splash the water see fish swim in a school
Watch the sun as it leaves the sky
Taste the water refreshing and cool

A bright light is seen straight ahead
Doubts make the darkness hard to leave
Thoughts turn to if there is water food, and shelter
Wonder if above there’s air to breath
We go above ground holding onto hope
As our eyes adjust the truth is revealed
Sun’s light for the first time hits our faces
Our eyes open to a wild flower field
In the distance mountains with snow
See waves crash onto the shore
A lush forest full of the color green
Don’t see anything of a long ago war
I run down to the water it is clear
Splash the water see fish swim in a school
Watch the sun as it leaves the sky
Taste the water refreshing and cool
The moon and stars shine so bright
Crickets heard feel peace and calm
Never again to be in total darkness
As the sun repeats the morning dawn
Seagulls fly and fill the blue sky
I start to sob begin a happy cry
Dad, its true all below said for years a lie
Mesmerize by this surprise
I am mesmerize
