lyrics

(1)
As light broke the darkness
I was spellbound by your sight
To watch the wind blow through your hair
Cast shadows with the light
Perfectly presented
Like a photo in a frame
You took my heart and with my breath
You whispered me your name

(2)
We held hands for a moment
I held tight - you held mine too
We crossed paths in the darkness
To a different place we knew
Your heart had bled against the turn
I know you felt my pain
But you were strong and carried on
With this your maiden name

©
It can never be the same
To fall down without pain
To learn to step, before we stride
With open hearts
Grace and pride.

(3)
Lies and fears took its toll
We were fighting to exist
To break the chains from around your wrist
With clench fists, you dismissed
Thick black smoke on an open hearth
Burns an immortal flame
A chance it had slipped through our hands
No one to fault or blame

©
It can never be the same
To fall down without pain
To learn to step, before we stride
With open hearts
Grace and pride.

(4)
Now tired, confused and weary,
As to where I go from here
Our boat has sailed, my flag half mast
I’d hope you’d help me steer
I hope our paths will cross again
I know you’re not to blame
What will be will be, it’s all been said
But it’s not been all in vain

©
It can never be the same
To fall down without pain
To learn to step, before we stride
With open hearts
Grace and pride.
