Then a boy, now a man
With a sword in his hand Ever tall, ever proud has he stood From his lips a sad smile Brings a tear to his eyes As the heavens break open once more Then a man, now a boy Small hands with small toys Ever wanders and questions the world From his lips a bright smile Brings a tear to the eyes Of a mother who knows far much more Vignettes of a life Too soon turned away From the innocent days of youth Then a mother, now a girl She spins and she whirls Ever hopeful, ever singing so sweet From her lips a bright song Brings a smile to the eyes Of a father who's seen so much more Then a girl, and a man All the world in their hands All the terror and hope they hold dear From their lips a sworn vow May bring tears from the eyes Of the heavens, now broken once more Vignettes of a life Too soon turned away From the innocent days of youth Yet the dreams will persist And the hope will live on As the heavens make way for the dawn |
