What a World
Time and perspective...reveals the truth
They say it was the darkest night
The fires burned so high
They claimed evil and hate
But it was a lie.
The fog between us left the stains
Floating on the wind
Early spring morning came without warning
Wings carried you aloft to hide you away
Bearing down on the tables of fate
But what a world had you stayed
Pop another bottle of crystal
and pray
To make it through the day we all forgot
Father….forgive me please forgive
Forget….father please let me go
I saw shadows dance the glistened steps shine
I heard people but the rustle hasn't stopped yet
The screams silenced but the children still cry
The river has frozen but the roads unchosen
Ferry you to the city a little less pretty
Lights aglow to light your way
But what a life had you stayed
Millions of glances no second chances
To make it through the night burning so bright
Mother... take my hand and walk
Don't stop...and try to talk
Who could’ve seen...the marks you left
But what a world if you’d stayed
The half and half as a dividing line
But what's the point if it was all a lie
Those eyes still glisten and soon will listen broken down in time
The songs they'll sing and slowly bring
The lie's end of the line
The changing phase of the sun
Matters more than the moon
The night mistress of June
Reunited with the father and the son
Judged as good or evil
Or just the passage of time
But what a world it could've been
