Well one time in a far away land
I held my breath, you held my hand.
I stopped to close my eyes and see,
just where the hell this path might lead.
Into a place I did not know,
Where the sheep and cattle seldom roam.
I thought that I was safe and sound,
And then you fell and hit the ground.
Why did we falter,
Why did we slow,
Why does the sky hold no shelter
What is the answer,
And where do we go.
I stopped to help, but you shook your head,
And I walked away with forgotten dead
Never to return I swore that day,
Where the lions and the tigers play,
In the far I post my watch,
And I can see you swimming in that park,
A ghost of the past is what I am,
A depth of shadows is where I stand.
Why did we falter,
Why did we fail
Why does the blind tell no tales,
What is the answer,
What do we seek...
Sometimes in the distant past,
I stop to think and let the tears fall fast
But its just a dream, one of long ago,
Like lookin through glass of a broken window,
Life is just a movin train
And here it is that darkened stain
Why did we falter,
Why did it fail,
Why does the heart act so frail,
What is the answer,
And what does it show...
