Lost in your embrace, for a moment I am free.
Your grief is so different than mine.
But the walls are coming down,
and tonight we cross the line.
Sometimes I get so lost in my own sorrow
That I can't reach you today
and can't think about tomorrow.
Grief chews up the day like a mean and hungry wolf.
But tonight, we build a bridge across the gulf.
When we lost her, it broke my heart in two.
The burden was so great, I put everything on you.
You were my rock, my shelter in a storm.
And in your arms, my cold heart could feel warm.
But as the days went by, it seemed to me
Your mourning and your grieving ceased to be.
It seemed that all was well...you were just fine.
And I thought the pain and grief were only mine.
You didn't grieve the same as me, it's true.
But you had your own pain to work through.
And the pain worked like a wedge between our hearts
And resentment tried to tear our lives apart.
but our healing started with a simple touch.
And compassion for each other means so much.
Losing her was something time cannot erase.
But I'm glad I have the warmth of your embrace.
