There is a gift I have to give you,

A story I have to tell,

A word of comfort. Remember:

There will be times when all eyes turn to gray,

Fade away, fade away.

And there'll be times

When no one kisses away your fears,

No more tears, no more tears.

There will be times no one shares your concern,

However they will burn.

When all your fights seem senseless,

Wasted, the wrong turn.

Your life appears as condemnation.

There'll be a hope beyond our desperation.

I'll be the whispering in the trees,

I'll be the wind that strokes your hair,

I'll be the roaring of the brook

And we will meet beyond despair,

Soon we will meet again.

There will be times when all your confidence

Sadly ends, sadly ends.

And there'll be times

When you'll close your eyes in pain

Oh, in vain! Oh, in vain!

Steel is sparkling through my fingers.

Our light is heading west.

Receive the wisdom of this life.

Its pieces running down my chest.
