A diamond's edge will cut your hand
Shimmering sharp it won't understand
I held too tight and lost the glow
The harder I grasp the more it goes
Some things shine brighter far away
Too close they burn or slip away
What's truly precious stays in the air
A fleeting light you shouldn't snare
Hold it too tight it fades to mist
Precious distance is the gift
A flame will dance but never stay
Chase it down and it runs away
I tried to cage the endless sky
But stars don't live where shadows lie
What's truly precious stays in the air
A fleeting light you shouldn't snare
Hold it too tight it fades to mist
Precious distance is the gift
A whisper
A shadow
A fleeting trace
The more you reach the more it's erased
Let it hover
Let it glide
Keep it near but not inside
