Sitting here before you,
How can I ignore you
You’re cries have always touched my heart
They always will – I’ll not depart

I reach a hand to touch your cheek,
I catch a tear – It’s flight was fleet
I wrap you close, inside my arms,
I try my best, to keep you from harm…

A dark hand reaches out, it’s fingers chill,
All to late we realise – you're not the one it’s come to kill.
A life’s caught in the reaper’s scythe,
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide.

The cry is short, the death was quick
But the pain lingers, never something quick.
As the years go by, and you wonder why.
Why they were taken, why they had to die?

As hours stretch to days, days into years,
The time takes the edge, dulls the pain, eases the tears.
One thing you can swear, will always be true,
You’ll never forget them, just as they’ll never forget you.

When you reach into your heart,
For those times long ago
You realise with a start.
Your loved ones are there – always, that, you know.
 

Cool breeze and autumn leaves
Slow motion daylight
A lone pair of watchful eyes
Oversee the living
Feel the presence all around
A tortured soul
A wound unhealing
NO regrets or promises
The past is gone
But you can still be free
If time will set you free

Time now to spread your wings
To take to flight
The life endeavor
Aim for the burning sun
You're trapped inside
But you can still be free
If time will set you free
But it's a long long way to go

Keep moving way up high
You see the light
It shines forever
Sail through the crimson skies
The purest light
The light that sets you free
If time will set you free

Sail through the wind and rain tonight
You're free to fly tonight
And you can still be free
If time will set you free
And going higher than mountain tops
And go high the wind won't stop
And go high
Free to fly tonight
Free to fly tonight
