Nobody can or will understand
What has happened
What will be
Neither does me
That’s why we go ahead
Move forward
Farther
Farther ahead
To the destination
We were meant to see
To be
Maybe then
We can
We’ll understand.

Tell me more
Tell me what to say
My mind is at a loss
Have nothing
Nothing
More to say.
So you must
Tell me more
Please
Give me the words
Those words
For
More to say.

Holding my heart
near to me
so it won’t break
fall from joy
into
misery.
I’ll hold her close
feel the veins and arteries
pumping
throughout
my grateful body.
She has been
but never seen
light
hidden deep
inside of me.
Never spoken or cried
there
she stays
inside of me
inside
my body.

Quietly said, quietly done
Now we start
Start back to
Where we were
We begun.

I feel your heart
Your quiet strength
I walk aside your silent figure
Not alone.
No words spoken
No hand is touched
But there beside me
My father walks.

Sometimes
you follow your dreams
Sometimes
you do not
Sometimes
you’re lost
looking for the way
And
Sometimes
you feel the love
that
helps you, guides you
on
your way.

I can see you
Feel your breath breathing
On mine
My lips hunger
For your loving touch
Caresses
Far
Far into night.
What else is there
But loving
Loving forever
The rest of
This
Passionate night.

No more do I go
To the edge
Oh no, now I leap off
Into the unknown
Accepting everything will be okay
Trusting all
No more to hesitate
No more to wait
Nor stay on the edge
But
Leap, leap off with faith
No dread.

I wonder, wonder where
The squirrel at the feeder
Came from.
Where the sun was before
It shone in the sky.
When people thought
That they may fly.
What was said when
The mountains fell.
As a earthquake opened up
And shattered the ground.
I wonder, wonder where
The answers can be found.

Listen to that little voice
That
Speaks inside your head
The soft, gentle sound
That tells
What’s right, what’s wrong.
The one who says
Which path to take
If you should
Go
Not hesitate, not wait.
When you find
The one
You think you love
She’ll tell you
If you need to stay
Or
If you should not walk
But run.
So listen
Listen to that little voice
She knows your heart
She knows
Knows what’s best.
Never lose that
Connection
Never ignore that voice
For
She says the wisest words
There
Inside your head.
