You feel it again and it hurts
It stands before you
Blocking your way
Can you trust your feelings?
Or your judgments today?
Take a deep breath
Hold the moments far away
Close your eyes now
Listen to the rain
Pounding the ground
Down your windowpane
And I cry...
I fall into the abyss
I feel the swallowing
Like bees swarming, encircling my wrists
I succumb to the powerlessness
I console but take no blame
Somehow my soul has evaporated into the mist
I am watching me
I am floating, so far away
Away from the darkness of my wake
I ask for salvation for my hurting, burning, sake
And I pray...
If I could be close to my mind
If I could reach out and touch me
For my true sight is now foggy and blind
If I could forgive those...
Whose hurt has unrelenting pain
If I could be kind to the child...
Whose memory will never be the same
If I could be my own angel...
In the darkness of another fearful night
I know my tears would surely wake the heavens
With their own dark reverie and fight
And I now listen...
Listen for a sign
Or maybe a place to escape
A road I could follow
In the footsteps of the crying rain
For this heartbeat cannot beat the pain
Coming down now...
Past my footsteps, down my windowpane
And I look out and away
My eyes closed tight
And I see a garden...
An Eden where breathless beauty and light flow
A special place encapsulated for those who know
Where crystalline winters dot the landscapes in a powdery white snow
A place to go when the fire burns, but, burns a bit too slow
And I see...
A great sea of velvet, embracing all within deep indigo waves
Sounds splashing the seascape in a foamy white blaze
This is where I will stand...
When my life falls beyond boundaries…in those dark, in-between days
And I now see...
My life is in the eyes, the eyes of the beholder
Grasping what meaning it can, as I grow older
And I understand...
While time takes us for every pedal a rose could peel
Cementing every thorn a scar would reveal
Past every voice a child can't find
A listener is born with a similar mind
And I am listening...
I will be close besides you
When you need to stay
I will be there to find you
When you've lost your way
I will reach out and guide you
When you've gone astray
I will reach out and touch you
When all else, seems far away
I will forgo old behaviors
In order to teach you a new way
I will be the voice that speaks out for you
When you have no words to say
You see I can only care...
Care about you in my own private way
As I move through my own darkness
You become a beam of hope boasting a new day
