Come Take My Hand
Let's run through the valley of strength,
Drink our tears till they no more weep...
We'll be free as the breeze flowing through trees
With only our souls to keep...
Leaving behind nightmares of the past,
Our toes will feel only soft blades of grass,
Gentle as silk, creating memories that will last.
Let's walk to the river hand-in-hand
Believing it's only the two of us in all of this fair land.
Look into my soul, a peacefulness you will see...
Feel my heart, it's life no longer seeping...
I have prevailed, all my demons are sleeping.
I know not which path our future will take
And I scoff at those that my faith shall forsake...
All I know is that in my life, I wish for you to participate.
I speak not of love, for if it's to be, we shall soon know...
It will come on the wings of an Angel above...
But as friend or lover, I'm sure there's no other like you.
Kiss my thoughts and shut out those ghouls...
Put them to rest... come float with me
We have nothing to lose.
Feel the rivers warm soothing embrace against our skin
Healing and nurturing - strengthening as we go...
I feel as if my life has once again begun.
Come, let's walk hand-in-hand
Believing it's only the two of us
In all this fair land.
