Something protects the pure at heart And it is more than the taking part It is the impulse that propels them on Even when everything else is gone It shows its face and it is revealed As the moment that I slowly reeled Against the dying of the light And found something that is alright But everything’s blind fragility And everything that means anything to me Will pass away with the morn If you must die it means you were born At sometime in the past And anything that’s bound can never last But the permanent Is that thing that never went Away, no matter what they say When I was younger I used to pray But then the silence ate me up Two months before I realised it was love That had come to save me Like the promise God gave me When I was ten And I didn’t want to be like any of them When I grew up Or eleven and I’m looking above A reason to find Because I am going out of my mind Searching for the man who went away The one I loved in the fray And he visits me, here and there But I crave the holy stair That will lead me to his light And I don’t have the will to fight Anymore I surrendered and it opened the door
