Look out from the tower
Over all you can see
That was your kingdom
And you were a queen
I'd wait by the driveway
Counting down your return
Afraid I might lose you
If I prayed the wrong words
But every kingdom must fall
Well time is a giver
And time is a thief
For all that we lose
We surely must grieve
And grief is a friend we don't know 'til we meet
She walks alongside us 'til we find relief
Though every kingdom must fall
Well I have lost friends
Lovers and dreams
Out of these trembling hands
Have fallen many things
But inside is a fire
Burning faint but long
It purges then it urges me on
Though every kingdom must fall
And words cannot be undone
But all things can be made new
In every sorrow, a song
It won't be long
Though the space in between now
Seems too far to reach
Times I've imagined
A bridge in between
And if I could be water
That's what I'd be
Stretch my arms out to reach
Both shores beyond me
