Precious

Like an old and faded photograph

Kept somewhere deep inside your mind

All that is becomes a memory

That can't withstand the power of time

But what's to come cannot comfort now

Still this you must hear

Precious are those who have walked on a path

That takes them through darkness

Shows them no way back

For they learn to be brave

Because when they give comfort

It comes from within

With a deep understanding of how fear can win

And of how, fear can pass

There are times it washes over you

Just like a wave that can't be stopped

Drags you down and starts to smother you

It can swim but you cannot

And oh my child I would comfort you

If I knew a way

Precious are those who have walked on a path

That takes them through darkness

Shows them no way back

For they learn to be brave

Because when they give comfort

It comes from within

With a deep understanding of how fear can win

And of how

Precious are those

Precious are those

This will pass
