Live On
I stood and watched you walk away
and with it my heart beat out
I stood and watched you take each brick down
and with it my heart beat out
I stood and watched you handcuff yourself to the Earth
and with it my heart beat out
I stood and watched the turn of your mind running wild
and with it my heart beat out
I stand and I watch you lowered to the skies
and with it my heart beats out!
I stand and I watch you streaming away to the last wind
and with you my heart will beat out
and with you my heart will beat out
Forever is the time I will lend you my skin
Forever is the time I will hold you within
Forever you are.
Forever me too,
And with that my heart will beat eternal,
Live on,
like soil.
