I was on my way
to meet a new beginning
But instead of you there
only tragedy was waiting
The writing on the wall
I should have read it more loudly
What if only I'd been there
I wonder how today would be
Now the ground beneath my feet
it's shifting into quick sand
Wherever I look there's no one left
who can take my hand
All of the pain in the world
who else can feel it?
The weight's too much for one
Together, we could have bared it
We'd turn our shields into kites
and ride the Winds of Chaos
We'd gather up this storm
and make it rain the Lord's glory
We'd remould our fears, vulnerabilities
into Grace and batteries
And power ourselves up to manifest
a brighter reality
We'd gather up the lost
and help the Spirit find them
They'd throw down their arms
and join hands
to sing Kumbaya under the stars
They'd throw down their anger
for love
And they'd realize all they can do
And remember the power they have
to make their dreams comes true
We'd make them remember their Oneness
And we'd never stop telling stories
About this little light of mine
and that little light of yours
And oh, how these lights would have lit up the night sky
But now, I'm without you
I'm not sure where I'm going
I'm not sure what to do
I can't feel anything
The waves have left me
Wherever I look
there's nothing to see
Everything is so dark
Is there anyone left
who can even hear me?
This emptiness, so profound
It's been a reminder
of how I've tried to forget
all the time that I've borrowed
But what have I done with it?
This body, it's hurting
This heart, it's breaking
I'm so tired
How do I pick up these pieces?
Do I seize a new day?
Or are you coming
to bring me home?
For David
Rest in peace my fellow traveler, I miss you
