All I See - text

Through the years, as I wander
Deep beneath the stars I'm under
Looking out into the sky
Never knowing why
Why the days keep getting shorter
Faster still as I grow older
Bittersweet the memories of my time

All I see shrouded in mystery
Shaping our destiny over again
Impossibility, simple realities
Chasing our wildest dreams
Again and again

The miracle of sons and daughters
Their innocence and sense of wonder
Myriad of their surprise
Awaits the open eye

How the weak remain so strong
Finding ways to carry on
Facing such uncertainty so faithfully

All I see shrouded in mystery
Shaping our destiny over again
Impossibility, simple realities
Chasing our wildest dreams
Again and again

Out of the darkness we came
Into the light feeling the sun and the rain

Behind the walls built of our make believe
Selling our soul, wandering aimlessly
We could not see

Pain, the price that we pay
For tears in a child's eyes we can't wipe away
Tears, melting away
The innocence from their eyes
Revealing the shame

Deep in my heart there's an awakening
Touching my soul with its sincerity
It speaks to me with sympathy
Behind the mask, there lies the true enemy
Escaping from reality
Everything there is to see

Hearts hat heal when they're broken
The sacrifice of fallen soldiers
Blood that spills and never dries
Tears we never cry

Angels that wait in the dark
Comforting the dear departed
Even though we cannot see
We still believe

All I see shrouded in mystery
Shaping our destiny over again
Impossibility, simple realities
Chasing our wildest dreams
Again and again

Out of the darkness we came
Into the light feeling the sun and the rain
Behind the walls built of our make believe
Selling our soul, wandering aimlessly
What's meant for me
