Blessed UnionAlways together we shall beHand in hand, you and me Sailing oceans, or gliding the shore To the top of the world, or to it’s core Our love will never grow cold, but always be simmering We will share a lifetime of memories As our ships sail, the journey of our lives start Never shall we travel far from the heart And if we go in a circle, and end where we began Then we’ll just pick up and begin again |
How Can WeHow can we disregardThe broken heart How can we turn aside Those weary eyes And give a look of disdain Call them hopeless and mundane Say that they’re insane How can we Live the life we live In a world so cold A crumb of bread To no one give And turn our backs On babies being sold How can we turn away The beggars on the street Look at them and complain That they’re all dead beats |
TimeTime will ease your painBut is that true Will it take away your scars And your bruises too Can a wounded heart heal And become whole again Or does it stay in pieces Becoming worn and thin Time will ease your pain That’s what they say Time will dry your eyes As you count the days |
