"Kindred Spirits"

Please open your eyes little one
By whose hand has this been done?
What sort of evil reveals
This darkness to a child?
Through windows of your out
You saw wounds of your soul
You saw wounds all too cold
Would you trust in me to hold you
If only for a little while?

I still remember you so vividly
Speaking with sad eyes
Both of us knowing
Through the door lies the end of your days
My heart was breaking
Abandoned, cold and shaking
There's no mistaking
My shadow will follow me home
Follow me home, you're not alone
Tomorrow is unknown for all who roam
From the dark to the light
Once again let hope take flight
Believes in me, trust in me
Follow me home

Wherever the wind blows, take me
Where I may go
She stands beside me, my shadow
She's a reflection of me now
In a world without perfection
Resurrection of living in the moment
A solitary moment
And it's soon to be a dream

You say animals, only animals
They are more than that to me
You say animals, only animals
But they are more than that to me

Once shattered and sadly broken
The world denied you
Yet still deep inside you
The fire rages on to be just what you are
Fearless warrior
And eyes of the blind
Guardian and protector
In fields of war you leave no man behind

You say animals, only animals
They are more than that to me
You say animals, only animals
But they are more than that to me
More than that to me

Bright eyes, tired eyes
Unpretentious heart of gold
The innocence, so vulnerable
If they wander into the darkness
Bright eyes, precious life
Living in the moment
Soon to be a dream
Blue skies, spirits high
In that moment we believed
Forever would never die, never say die
Man has deemed them lesser than
And they can't understand or love
But I know they can, I know they can
Me and my shadow

Innocence, you opened your eyes to be crucified
By the dark souls who wander here
No trust, no love, no promise
Just the cold fear of being the hunted
I know you still dream about it
'Cause deep in the night you're running away
From the misery, the insatiable hunger
When you're unwanted

Sad eyes, tired eyes, come to life

The awakening
Breaking the chains that bound you
The light surrounds you
Aquiesce the insidious wild inside
To your watchful master

Wherever this broken road divides from here
We run together
The seeds of abandonment lead to lasting pain
But we won't live in vain
We won't look away from the face of evil
Don't turn away void of empathy
Don't walk away denying
We can't turn away, innocence is dying

Sunrise, high tides
Always forever by my side
Precious life, guiding light
How we lived and how we cried
Faithful heart, I was
The universe gleaming in your eyes
Right eyes, tired eyes
Kindred spirits intertwined

Precious life, heart of gold
Vulnerable to the darkest souls
Blue skies, days gone by
It was a good, good ride
Your love too away
The darkness from my humankind
Running through the wind rye
Memories till the day I die, till the day I die

Bright eyes, tired eyes
Unpretentious heart of gold
The innocence, so vulnerable
If they wander into the darkness
Bright eyes, precious life
Living in the moment
Soon to be a dream
Blue skies, spirits high
In that moment we believed
Forever would never die
Man has deemed them lesser than
And they can't understand or love
But I know they can

In the palm of my hand
Melting into my heart
You changed my life
Took my darkness away
And all that you were
Is now all that I am
You kindred spirit
Alone again
Blue sky, spirits
In that moment we believed
Forever would never die
Sad eyes, tired eyes
It's never easy to say goodbye
