Lyrics

A lover's promise
The mother's kiss
Tho tears will
Dry, and soul as
Hight, as hearts
Can go, expand
While eye to eye
And hand in hand
We teach
Ourselves to make
The chains we reach
To break
Forsake the truth
If sly will buy
Or steal some love
But known not of
Or why
The thing wee seek
Can live
Then die
We know those
Words to speak
That get us next
To another's skin
Then close our
Minds to the din
Of an opening
Heart, without
Remorse
So on that
Smoth and seamless
Prideful course
Of choice your ego
Made ago
Alone
You slide
Till one
Gray day
Inside
A voice
May say
"A coward's way
To go. I robbed
And cheated
Myself of love
I needed
I was not
Brave enough to know
Brave enough to show
Or keep
A lover's promise"
(the mother's kiss)
