A Secret Not Shared
Living in an endless nightmare
Where the flowers never bloom
Where the sun doesn't shine
And the river's never flow
As life changes from day to day
And their eyes and grins are all we find
Not caring about our destiny or our fate
Why do we feel the way we do
To learn, to explore, to understand the world
Is it right to feel so blue
To feel like you have no purpose in life
To feel like you've been violated inside-out
Dreaming of far off places to where the birds fly free
And all our greatest dreams become more than real
As the blue bird shed's it's happiness
To all of us who are so blind
Yet what is happiness to those who mourn
Or those who weep over what's been done
Each so different, yet each the same
Created equal for a purpose, to love one another
The fight between life and death is hard to see
But the answer is not ours to hold
We must each find our path's in life
Where we each make mistakes that change our ways
As the rain pours down to bring new life
A single breath is but a whisper
And a shallow heartbeat that is so clear
Our minds dance, dance in the dead of night
While the monster so true gets three to five
The innocence of a young girl is so blind
Where from day in and day out she is left with life
No remorse for this lonesome dove while she flies overhead
Like the Angel she is she wishes it to end
For them to help, yet leave her alone
For them to see how hurt she feels
Like being left alone by the stump of a tree
As an Angel may spread it's wings
To reveal its masked identity
We are lost in our words from our hearts
Like the sun that shines so bright
Like the secrets of an innocent soul
All is lost in the abyss of nothingness
Where fire reins free as if like a bird
But with no feeling like the devil himself
As a lost soul may find a way to far beyond
It carries with it a message of hope, peace and love
For until next time we shall have to wait
For the secret to life, death and beyond even that.
