To Ascend lyrics

Were you drifting

On a strange tide?

Collecting visions

From the other side?

Caught between day and night

You were stealing moments past hours

of your life

And balancing on

The edge of a knife

Memories of once longer days

They keep on flooding back

The adventurous times when we

traveled life’s road

Though we were often blind

But with a lot more heart

And for each other

Taking the time

On a wing and a prayer

A wounded bird in the hand

With the eyes of a child

Come to understand

I will open the book

Raise the pen

Let it reinvent

My life again

Take me from where I am

As a freed bird

Flies from the hand

To ascend, to ascend

Were you catching

The last train to nowhere?

Playing out scenes

Of dark desert days?

Put it behind you now

Call out those bleak shadows from your mind

And never again

Slip through the cracks

Memories of once longer days

They keep on flooding back

The adventurous times when we

traveled life’s road

Though we were often blind

But with a lot more heart

And for each other

Taking the time

On a wing and a prayer

A wounded bird in the hand

With the eyes of a child

Come to understand

I will open the book

Raise the pen

Let it reinvent

My life again

Take me from where I am

As a freed bird

Flies from the hand

To ascend, to ascend
