| FRIENDSHIPS I once lived in a palace of delicate glass Wearing silken robes and a crown of brass I had a harbor of sparkling ships That sailed with me on one-year trips My companions at school when I was a child Were anyone who looked at me and smiled I was used to temporary friends And each year another voyage would end My friends I did trust threw me in the dust My crown turned to rust as I sat and stared I’d dwelled in a vision, a false disposition, And my realization was right then and there My silk robes were tattered. My glass dreams were shattered, And not that it mattered, for nobody cared At night I’d lie in bed and weep Tossing and turning and getting no sleep I’d imagine comrades I never knew My fantasy would never come true And I remember the day I cried When he said he loved me, but he lied I wanted to drown in my pool of sorrow Thinking there was no light of tomorrow I could have sworn my heart was torn, But I was reborn, and I took Evil’s bait My stolen emotion cast out to the ocean Mixed into a potion of sadness and hate But you dried my tears and quieted my fears And saved me from years of undestined fate You lifted up my heavy veil Brought color to my cheeks so pale The sheep no longer give me fright They’re blinded by the flair of night You rescued me from an island deserted With your healing power my feelings reverted You showed me how someone can care And when you need me I’ll be there I was abandoned by my crew, but I won’t turn my back on you And now I know what I must do for us to be set free You’ll understand when you take my hand That we must demand life’s golden key We’ll unlock the door and together we’ll soar To a world only for people like you and me I revealed to you my darkened past You mended my sails and you straightened my mast Now once again my last ship can sail With you by my side, our journey won’t fail United we’ll rebuild the towers We’ll give it strength and much more power Bound with gold and precious stone Never again will we be alone Now all I can say on this bright cheerful day As we fly far away on the wings of a dove Is that all of those sheep are merely asleep Unaware of the deep sacred powers of love We’ll glide on a cruiser away from those losers And our abusers. We’ll be far up above I’ll never have to sit and weep And finally I’ll get some sleep I’m safe in our flying vessel of dreams Sailing across a silver moonbeam With you I never have to think That our friendship will ever sink We’ll both forget our dreary past Our voyage will forever last |
