Did you ever wonder...
                                          Why we feel pain?
Why we fall easier than we get up?
                         Why the clouds part beneath shaky feet,
                         Why the snow falls in black and red flakes
                     Breaking
                         The
                      Coldest
                      Hearts
Why my music no longer flows sweet
                   And the foreign face in the mirror
Won't look me in the eye

The moon hung in the sky
Above the quite world
The cold breeze shuffles the leaves
And whispers in my ear
Walking along the woods
A growl so soft is spoken
A coyote's eyes so bright
Shine brighter than the stars
I smile and whisper back
Hello there brother
He growled again but softer
As I softly sang to him
He slowly backed away
Knowing he was in no danger
I say goodbye to the creature
And go along my way
I never forgot that coyote
That I saw that day

The stars have finally spoken
My heart is on the mend
My soul no longer broken
As you gave your hand to lend

This swirling in my heart
As you hold me in your arms
This feeling of a fresh start
Knowing you will keep me from harm

The way you make me feel
And the smile that you leave
It's almost too good to be real
So good it's hard to believe

I never thought this would happen
It never occurred to me
But I'm so glad it did
With you I feel so free

You never try to change me
I never try to change you
It makes me so happy
And I know I make you happy too

Tonight I'm thanking the stars
For replying to my prayers
Tonight I know who we are
And I can give my heart to share

I took a sip, of a wine forgotten
And I was pulled by the force
And through halls not dusted
I was whisked away
In to a room that I had left blank
Walls un-painted
Floors all white
It was my room to fill
Full with delight
Because those darker rooms are gone
The ones that I've lived in so long
I have escaped from their angry claws
Finally unbound from their laws
I'm free again
I'm really free

Set the roof on fire....
It's a party in hell
Let the music inspire...
And then the roof fell
Dance beside the flames
Dance beneath the light
Dancing without shame
Below the stars tonight
Closer time pulls us in
And the music starts to get inside
And this ambush of feelings begin
And I don't even want to hide

Fragile flower
Bathing in rain shower
Soft red petals
Smooth and cold like metal
Frost at the tips
What's left of the sun it sips
This flower lives in cold
I don't know how it holds
But below our tree it grows
It's almost as if it knows
That my heart beats every day
In a rhythm for you to stay
And this flower never weeps
Never shuts its eyes to sleep
The flower wind can't shove
This flower is our love

You leave me with a beating heart
I'm no longer fallen apart
I've been put back together
I feel weightless like a feather
I no longer want to waste away
I'm still happy today
So I give my thanks to you
For doing what you do
