Why, Vol. 1

Hanging on a wing a prayer Since the first kiss of the sun today So many hearts dangle on nearly severed threads As the cycle of life plays its vicious game Overwhelmed by how quickly things can change Lying dormant, in limbo, it should be me, not you Just yesterday you were being taken for granted Now time is running out Please know my love is true What can I say or do When the angels have come for you What can I say or do When a loved one's time is through Tell me you will fight until the bitter end Tell me your hope will never fade away So many are counting on the warrior To slap away the hand of judgement day You were born with a heart of gold so helpless Drowning in torture and cloaked in misery One minute slowly turning into a lifetime of what if's And knowing your pain takes my soul right out of me All these wishing wells are rapidly running dry Darkest hours are never eclipsed by the brightest light Resurrection will carry you to a better place Even though it takes you away from existing life So many memories make it so hard to breathe The hands of time are stealing precious life Daylight is passing over another lost here And all I want to know is the reason why As I seek rapture from answers that can't be found Wondering how life can leak from a vibrant soul I just want to know what is the reason why Something so simple is never in your control
