Songs of Longing - Dreams Made Manifest

I’ve been making enemies

Of the restless dead

I’ve been speaking heresies

For the thrill of it

I’ve been hiding all the pain

That they still deny

So someone feels it again

Holds their candle high

———

So why don’t I go stand outside out in the pouring rain

So why don’t I speak all the words I’m not allowed to plain

So why don’t I go to the woods that they will never find

So why don’t I find all the words in my heart not my mind

——— To where the forest meets the sea

To where our hunger meets our grief

To where the chorus meets the verse

To where the river meets the earth

To where forever meets today

To where the kids can learn and play

To where the sunlight meets the blue

To where the legend meets the truth

To where the armour meets the sword

To where we know we deserve more

To where the meaning meets the song

To where our weakness makes us strong

———

I’ve been feeling all the hurt

That I should not feel

I’ve been meek, polite, snd curt

But I know what’s real

And I have been drenched in blood

And in furtive love

I’ve been praying for the flood

To the skies above

———

So why don’t I go stand outside out in the pouring rain

So why don’t I speak all the words I’m not allowed to plain

So why don’t I go to the woods that they will never find

So why don’t I find all the words in my heart not my mind

To where the forest meets the sea

To where our hunger meets our grief

To where the chorus meets the verse

To where the river meets the earth

To where forever meets today

To where the kids can learn and play

To where the sunlight meets the blue

To where the legend meets the truth

To where the armour meets the sword

To where we know we deserve more

To where the meaning meets the song

To where our weakness makes us strong

My father was a selfish man

But I will not follow his plan

The stories all around my youth

They’re all so different, all the truth

My father was a selfish man

He thought I couldn’t, but I can

The secrets passed under the stars

Will carry us to land unmarred

———

So why don’t I go stand outside out in the pouring rain

So why don’t I speak all the words I’m not allowed to plain

So why don’t I go to the woods that they will never find

So why don’t I find all the words in my heart not my mind

To where the forest meets the sea

To where our hunger meets our grief

To where the chorus meets the verse

To where the river meets the earth

To where forever meets today

To where the kids can learn and play

To where the sunlight meets the blue

To where the legend meets the truth

To where the armour meets the sword

To where we know we deserve more

To where the meaning meets the song

To where our weakness makes us strong319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pKjSyRg2l
