In the hour of awakening, I find myself lost
Lost in the swirl of soft dream and cold reality
Finding myself to asking the fiddler what was the cost
and paying the coin of my own mortality

Soul is lost in the gusts of ill wind
Battered on the rocks that littered my way
As I sought what must have been the original sin
Until I was torn apart like a beast at bay

Where did I lose that part of me
Which used to laugh and soar like the birds
That part of me, which used to be free
There is no answer, there are no words

The light that shines, is not seen by the blind
The warmth of  its rays are masked by the cold
Of a heart that became stone, as well as the mind
And yet, and yet, I hear a whisper,  return to the fold

The eyes do open, in clarity shine
With the whisper of the breeze, the wings of the dove
The weight does fall from heart and mind
For I return to the fold, given eternal love
