Did a reckless call decide that you were leaving?
Traded all you'd left behind for other skies
To where the rain offers mercy
Grants the faithful a disguise
If ever tears should wash away your paper smile
When the battle was through and done
Decreed by judgment of the sun
Had you lost more than all that you can say you'd won?
Did you ask or ever wonder if I'd been on your side?
Or followed every step you took along the way?
God had you secrets and never told
Of the tales to which we'd hold
Myths we tell ourselves in order to survive
When to your eyes the world's a stranger
Without courage and full of anger
Like castles on the sand before the tide
Was it fortune holding sway when you walked away?
Laid the king down on his side when you resigned
A ring of metal for a crown
Adorned with stones to weigh it down
Rags for robes to cover up your foolish sides
Free chance exchanged your pain and loss
Wagered all on love and trust
Guess fate alone's not written in the stars
Save me, you always save me
When you're strong enough to heal a fragile heart
And if you save me, even pray for me
Fill my heart and mind to remind me who I am
We've yet so many worlds to conquer
So many roads for us to wander
And I'll write our names in a heaven full of stars
Save me, you always save me
When you're strong enough to heal a fragile heart
And if you save me, even pray for me
Fill my heart and mind to remind me who I am
We've yet so many worlds to conquer
So many roads for us to wander
And I'll write our names in a heaven full of stars
