Dreams Weep
The bridge of friendship crumbles
over a river of hurt and pride
Two souls stumble
alone across an empty great divide
A kingdom full of promise is forever lost
by the choice to tear down and rip apart
Kindness could have been the only cost
along with love for the other's beautiful heart
When death comes knocking on the door
with the hour of judgment at God's hand
Was it all about keeping score?
Or will they finally seek to understand?
Before another day comes to an end
Learn from this foolish pair
Give thanks to your precious friends
For the many treasures that they share
There is no saving what is burned in fire
We lose what we try too hard to keep
Fate has her own secret desire
Dreams weep as the angels go to sleep
