Lyrics
as a cloud passes by the sun
testing shades of darkness
revealing light in its time
testing shades of light
shades of dark
shades of light
didn't know darkness
didn't know how dark it could get
didn't know how far
down I would descend
didn't know lightness
was a place I had to climb
minute by minute
as a cloud travels fast and far
testing new formations
pulled at once by four winds
testing shape and form
shape and form
as a cloud passes by the sun
