Spark Of California

© 2015 Mark Cote

through my shadows how could you see
what was left inside of me
when a voice gets drowned out
by those who mumble no one shouts

the light and fun of an inner child
flies like a bird into the wild
to a place I want to be
to a face I want to see

(chorus) spark of California
                    I see in your eyes
                    spark of California
                    on the other side
                    spark of California
                    so far away
                    spark of California
                    you're my sunny day

blind man coming to the light
what I couldn't feel I knew was right
what I couldn't say you sing the song
when I couldn't walk you dance along

within my silence I cried out
and opened my heart you flew out
small steps a lonely man
guide me I know I can

(chorus)
