But we are the lovers . . .

There are many prayers
whispered
as night turns to day

many questions that
go unanswered
as faith gives way
another reason to sway

When all is silent and cold,
will I have a hand to hold?
When the grey turns black,
would I be able to look back?

Some people fight
and others fall
Some people live
and others die
Some people run
and others fly

But us, we are the lovers . . .

If you lie awake
in the night
you'll probably remember
what you feel

If you were looking for
stars outside
you'd have noticed
it is never so reel,
it was just how you
wanted to feel ..

You can wonder
through the fiction for the truth
beneath all the lies
is what you stole

from life
from others
from self
from pain

when all turns black
it would still show
buried at a distance
but not far from
wherever you'll go

But we, Oh we are the lovers . . .

If a chance comes to save
between the one you lost
and for whom you now crave ..

A life you don't live
is still lost
A thought held back
runs deeper in a deadlock

the past is a legend
the future is a door
the lights are so perfect
but you can never be sure

If... , but maybe
say still .., perhaps
Have it your way

But we, Oh we are the lovers . . .
we're here to stay

You drove down all
the way to the shore
just to see if it sinks
while you gamble more

Smoke on the water
Now fire in the sky
look all around
there's no place to hide

Show me the way, you scream
It's all that you'll need in life
Hiding the guilt
in your eyes

Nothing is lost
to a will that'll find
Stand on the edge
and you'll know your way...

But we, Oh we are the lovers . . .

Still waiting for the meaning
the bright light on the shore,
the epiphany driven
parachute descending from
the sky?

Bury the memories,
this pour
Look at yourself
and know now
what it is to be sure

So live like you mean it
stealing doubts from
those thoughts

and you'll see
your never-ending-way
Dreams will be there to show
you the day
while you're up in the night
melting castles to clay

As for us, we are the lovers . . .
We chose our way,
in silence
to hear what life is trying to say.
