Life Is Looking Up Lyrics - Razia's Shadow: A Musical - Forgive Durden

Could this be the day I've waited for 

When all my hard work doesn't go ignored? 

Maybe she was right, they will realize 

I can change the world, open up their eyes 

They know I am more than some eager blood 

Not some average bones, I believe in love 

I just want to prove I deserve this gift 

I will change the world, maybe this is it 

I can see it now, all the colors smear 

Up and down the page but the shapes are there 

I will build the lamps in this reverie 

Then they'll understand this was meant for me 

This is my fate 

I can almost hear 'em say 

Let the lamps shine, let 'em burn so bright 

Open all our eyes, shower us in light 

Let the lamps shine, let 'em burn so bright 

Set the sky ablaze, fill the night with paint 

Smother all the shade, flood it through my blood 

Breathe it through my lungs, give us all your love 

They know I am more than some eager blood 

Not some average bones, I believe in love 

I just want to prove I deserve this gift 

I will change the world, maybe this is it 

I can see it now floating like a dream 

Right above my head, perfect symmetry 

Lives in harmony, I can see his face 

When he sees the lamps I can hear 'em say 

Let the lamps shine, let 'em burn so bright 

Open all our eyes, shower us in light 

Let the lamps shine, let 'em burn so bright 

Set the sky ablaze, fill the night with paint 

Smother all the shade, flood it through my blood 

Breathe it through my lungs, give us all your love 

Dream with your eyes closed 

Try and pluck the pearls from your bones 

All the plans pirouette 

Right through my mind become set 

The lines become definite 

Glowing hues fill this vignette 

Tall and proud, the lamps will stand 

(Dream with your) 

Built from these two very hands 

(Eyes closed) 

No one will be able to 

(Try and pluck the pearls) 

Deny my skill nor love for you 

(From your bones) 

Dream with your eyes closed 

Try and pluck the pearls from your bones 

Let the lamps shine, open all our eyes 

Shower us in light 

Let the lamps shine, let 'em burn so bright 

Set the sky ablaze, fill the night with paint 

Smother all the shade, flood it through my blood 

Breathe it through my lungs, give us all your love 

You can't change me 

You can't hide me 

The vision of the world had been realized 

But the sculpture of the earth was looked upon by jealous eyes 

Ahrima refused to relent, he demanded to be heard 

Let my unique deft hands be known, he asserted 

But even this brash avowal was met in return by no mouthful 

O simply, just smiled 

So defeated and galled, Ahrima headed for the darkness 

No one seemed to understand, only the shadows would hearken 

He sat in peace but on his shoulder, at rest 

Perched a dainty brownish spider named Barayas
