You were teaching future minstrel sons
Dedicated beyond compare
When the music from an ancient time
Seemed to take your heart somewhere
Above the smog and darkness
Above the eagles on high
To a place beyond the tragic
To eclpise your soul and mind

Chorus:
And you thought, "why am I speaking?"
"There's no one to understand"
"My thoughts could fill a canyon"
"But they're lost within my hands."

So you thought about your license
Your poetic just embrace
And you realized you knew enough
To turn knowledge into hate
And no one sought integrity
They stayed lost in thier past
And complicated reaching out
Made the human bridge collapse

Chorus:
And you thought, "why am I speaking?"
"There's no one to understand"
"My thoughts could fill a canyon"
"But they're lost within my hands."

So you thought about what to do
And you found it in your heart
To use thoughts you need to fill time
And join worlds torn apart
There's a healing come down to you
From the stars beyond despair
Where you can hear the angels crying
To the music you repair

Chorus 2
So you dont think, "why am I speaking?"
"Because no one understands"
"My thoughts might fill a canyon"
But I can share them with my hands."

Medium rock tempo fade..........

The emotions of your poet dancer
come through softly hard and clear,
even as the beat drives on...

Ethome, this is one of your best.

I would love to hear the music behind it.

Thank you Sy for the read and the kind response.

Broken- I'm so glad these words could flow for you...I appreciate the response.

MGROVES I appreciate the very kind words. Glad I can still give someone the chills..LOL! Thanks for dropping in.

Passing....The second chorus was meant to sum it up thanks for commenting on that and for the reply.

Scorpio I always appreciate it when a reader can hear one of these lyrics because that means I am half way there....I appreciate the response.

Maureen...Seems to turn out that way sometimes doesn't it? I always appreciate a visit from you thanks for dropping in.

Thanks Karilea I appreciate the reply in verse. I am working on some music for this one....Hope it does turn out to be one of my best...I appreciate the read.

Eric, Eric...this is just so awesome...such a soulful scribe...filled with such empathy and humilty....wrapped up in your gift of harmonies and melodics...ya got some very cool lines in this poet pal...

And complicated reaching out
Made the human bridge collapse

"My thoughts could fill a canyon"
"But they're lost within my hands."

There's a healing come down to you
From the stars beyond despair

Beautiful lyric and verse E-babers...
so very good to read you again.

Among the kingdom of the winds ...
perhaps there is one of elegant mind,
who has no need to intrude on the solitude of single things.
