Bursting lights overhead
Metal chunks fall to the ground
Bodies spread out, lying dead
Racing heartbeats cease to pound
Where's the sun now, disappeared?
Cloudy skies are all we see.
Greater powers, always feared.
We need a light to make us free.
Can you give yourself up?
Can you send me your strength?
Will you make the right choice
and push us forward?
Will you lend me your voice?
Are you sure you want this?
Please, help me shine out
and raise up above!
Help-me-raise the Bursting Light!
The Burning Hope of all Eternity!
Let's all make this Right!
Let's burst the stars and make it clear to see!
All of you Hold me High!
Lift me up so I can light the Sky!
Help me to Shine forth!
Show me what your bodies hold inside!
Will you follow me to the sun?
Bring out yourself that lies within?
I know that I'm not the only one.
Do you feel that motion
that flows beneath your skin?
Come now, LET'S SHINE FORTH!
LET'S SHINE BRIGHT FOR ALL THE WORLD TO SEE!
BRIGHTER THAN BEFORE!
WE'LL SHOW THE HEAVENS WHAT WE'RE MEANT TO BE!
LET'S BURST APART THE NIGHT!
LET'S ALL LIGHT UP, AND BREAK APART THE SKIES!
NOW, SHINING, WE FIGHT!
WE'LL SHOW THE GODS AND LEAVE THEM IN SURPRISE!
We'll all burst forth, with shining light,
When the world is shrouded in endless night.
That's when the Shining Hero, will rise above,
Replacing our hate with the shining love!
As all the world, will stare in awe, the light will spread out far.
And all around, we'll feel the light, each single spark a star!
Remember now, to hold your light
and not forget what's wrong or right.
I'll hold on to each shining spark,
to be your Hero when it's Dark.
Author notes
Inspired by a crazy Japanese Rock/Pop song. "Shining Collection" from a crazy/creepy/gay anime called Gravitation. That's all I guess. -Dan
Note: The two-liner parts are all done in same rhythm... kinda like the "Make me Shining" part of the song, basically.
ba-da Bum ba bum
Ba-da da da, bum bum ba dum-dee-dum
^^; I got... um... very musical. I sang this one too, really like... fastish. This is by no means SLOW. ...oh, and...
It's not a reference to Jesus, and I d'no... I guess it's that feeling of being a Hero. I got... a really weird feeling as I just wrote this and sung the tune in my head, as to the imagery and the words. I WILL be a hero ;D I have to be, doncha' know? I guess... it's a personal message... and I turned it into a hyper song... so it's very much like "Shining Collection" if you want a good idea of how the tune goes. It ISN'T the same, but close as to rhythm and also where I got inspired to put this down.

You can be my hero anytime!

This piece goes way beyond inspirational! It calls our hearts to arms, and commands us to follow. Your voice is very strong and righteous. It appeals to our souls to do what is right. You have done an excellent job of writing this. I think it would make GREAT lyrics. I wish I could hear it to the music in your head. Thanks for posting this. I enjoyed it very much!!

Uhm.... Shines Brilliantly.
Haha, well this was a surprising and weird revelation for me. One, I wasn't expecting to read something like this, and Two; didn't think something so 'spiritually uplifting' could actually raise my own spirits any higher at this down-point in my life. Ha, very nice rhythm and flow. I read it, similiar to the beat you suggested, I believe.
In any case, it was a fun delightful read, truly. I've never watched "Gravitation" though I have a vague idea of what it's about, but this was interesting and terrifically delivered and actually moves the soul. Fantastic write.

If I believed in fate, I'd say that's what brought me here. But I don't, so it's just a lucky coincidence. I read an older poem of mine and saw a comment of yours and I really wanted to read something of yours and leave a note.
So, I came here. And I got much more then I expected. After the first couple of stanzas I was drawn in, I think I sang it in my head somewhat similar to the rhythm you said.
But, to end a long comment, I thought that your poem (song?) was inspiring and beautiful. I'm very glad I decided to read your poem. Thank you.

Wow, great poem - I don't usually like reading longer poems, but this inspired me to keep on reading and I'm glad I did because the ending is divine! We all need a hero from time to time - I hope there is one out there somewhere for me too?!?!?

It's not related to the anime, just that one song cuz I heard it and I d'no... There's a line in it. "Make Me Shining". So that got me thinking.
