Will my heart
and her tender lie
be for me to know
as a light
or a woe to cry
or a wound to show
maybe more
like a prayer to say
or a bond to break
or perhaps
as a far away
or a grave mistake
maybe love
and her ache will pass me by
if I pledge my past
and would cease to try
but then my heart
and whatever that I be
we come to you
as you come to me
In your eyes
I see shadows laugh
as I drink your grace
and I wonder
on whose behalf
do they leave their trace
In the warmth
of your deep embrace
I can feel no pain
nor the world
that I have to face
if I would maintain
seems like love
up and caught me on the run
with the chains I trail
and the needs I shun
but for you
I'm a better man for sure
I could see myself
and I would endure
I don't know
why you take for granted
I am yours
when I belong
to no one
I'm torn and I bleed
and I'm left enchanted
yet you lie and you say
that no harm
is done
Will this life
and the things I chase
be for me to know
as a lie
or a futile race
or a seed to sow
Maybe more
like a brand new day
or a chance to take
or perhaps
as a field of play
with my soul at stake
maybe life
and her lust will pass me by
if I trust my wings
and would dare to fly
maybe then
I shall be what I can be
I shall know the sky
I shall sail and see
