Sky


God is crying the tears I can't

Washing away the sins I repent
Lost things I know I can't get back

Lost you when I know what we had was true


Time is fleeting and there's no where to escape

Desire to turn back the hour glass

Doubt I'll outrun the sun


Couldn't say everything I wanted

Tried singing the things I lacked

But it's hard when music has abandoned me

Leaving misery in its wake


Into the fog I lept distorting my views

Couldn't see the heart of darkness circling his prey

Hunger for the pains of regret


I know that I can't survive this fight

The question now is do I try

With only so many grains left

I must let you go


Hopefully music will strum again

Caressing her lost child

Healing within


God will cease crying

and smile

at the angel he's created

and the person I've become.
