Every Kingdom

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
