I hear cries from far away
can never hear what they say
A million reasons to come this way
turn yourself inside out, stay
Whispers soft at night, shadows on the wall
outstretched fears waiting for the fall
Give yourself away or stand tall
is what they seem to call
Lonely wail, lonely cell
of flesh born? can't tell
if want is there, do tell
your fate lift the veil
Hidden the tales are
that echo from afar
Hidden door left ajar
longing, this mighty scar
Many times tried to reach
stumbled on unsteady feet
Await the final seat
for this distant, lost fleet
Awaiting the day that will reveal
treasure hidden within, sealed
All is lost except how to feel
this endlessly spinning wheel
And how we yearn to find
that final peace of mind
You left us in the blind
only you to seek to find
Don't leave us here in the dark
hidden without a beat of heart
This painful, never dying spark
it bares your immortal mark
From the beginning to the end
as time will never mend
This fated love we tend
our restless heart not bent
I often think about what it was like back when early men and women struggled to survive and maybe even thrived while they went through some of the same problems that we have with relationships that may have been very brutal at times.
