Twin Prayer

Words are blades, yet my shield has yet to crumble
Sing with me, dream of a tomorrow;                                  Sing with me, dream of a tomorrow
Speak a path for my weary feet to stumble
Walk with me, raise yourhand                                           Walk with me, raise your hand

Though my eyes have yet to see
The hope that breathes in whispered verse and saga                The hope that breathes in whispered verse and saga
Yet I know not for nothing we believe
                                                                                                        Hold your dreams

Is it only the strong who break from sorrow?
Walk with me, see the path you follow                                  Walk with me, see the path you follow
Can a sword bring a drowning man to shallows?
Talk with me, share your fears                                                    Talk with me, share your fears

Scholar weep for the blood never
Should have stained the leaves of past and dawning morrow              Should have stained the leaves of past and dawning morrow
Arm me now with the truth of what we've seen
                                                                                                                      Pray for me

And if a verse could sing my people to their bright tomorrow             Stand with me, Live with me, Keep breathing, don't give in
Then all my fears could rest on unplucked strings                        Strive with me, reach with me, keep dreaming, one last time
Bind my eyes and lead me to                                                    Look at me, try to see
The world where strife is but a passing mem'ry                                  The world where strife is but a passing mem'ry
There I'll rest were nothing can intrude                                  There I'll rest were nothing can intrude
                                                                                                 But a whispered voice that bears the unpleasant truth

Catch my eye and remember choices long gone
Cry with me, there's no shame in sorrow                                  Cry with me, there's no shame in sorrow
Take my side and prepare for what is to come
Stand with me, shout your joy                                                    Stand with me, shout your joy
Brother know that there is light
Beneath the darkest fear and terror's shadow                                  Beneath the darkest fear and terror's shadow
Write a new day and perform your hero's scene
                                                                                                          Harper dream
