Space

The space was there
And now it's gone
It's moved again
It's all a game
And I don't want to play
The space was there
And now I stare
Into the dark
Someone took and froze my heart
In time
Why do I live these lies, these lies
I need to leave them all behind
And turn toward the light today
Celebrate a new and peaceful way
If I don't
What will become
Of the good work I have done
Even though, it's still a mess
Deep down, I know there has been progress
Spiral up and spiral down
One day, I'll wear a spiral gown
Which only then will remind me of
The days of old, lost in the fog
The air will clear
And I will hear
The silent humming of the bees
Softly, softly, through the trees
The dark sky will be so bright
With longer days
And shorter nights
I pray for when I say I do
To the love I know can see me through
