I was speaking a tale that had been told That the streets are not paved with gold And fairy tales don’t come true False is the promise of contentment The only thing real is resentment And heavy is the price overdue It left me wandering a desolate place Grim was the doom written on my face I could hide it no more Comfort was not to be found again Indifference was starting to win I could not now ignore Just then an angel appeared overhead Spread wide her wings And awoke a heart left for dead I began listening to a tale I never heard She spoke to me, her eyes as words And fairy tales do come true The streets are all paved with gold Ever endless works of wonder to behold And skies a deeper shade blue The weight of ages lifted from me For the first time I could easily breathe I am somehow something more Life is sacred and new again Each second is a long lost friend I know now what I’m living for Just then the angel, with wings outspread Enfolded arms about me And held close to her heart my weary head |
