Caught on the threshold
             Of freedom and fire
                        Holding to the hinges
                                Of not yet fallen plans
                                      Please don’t let the sea wash away
                                             Everything I have left to say
                                                   Looking for the sun
                                                        On a moonless night
                                                           ­  Seeing the stars
                                                           ­     And knowing mine’s there
                                                           ­        Separated by the fear
                                                            ­          That morning won’t come
                                                            ­       Balancing on broken ground
                                                          ­      Glancing back without a sound
                                                           ­  It’s a little hazy up the way
                                                        But sand and stone don’t stop
                                                  My unfolding, unwinding starlit path
                                             The steps back are easier than forward
                                      Steely heart and day-made dreams
                                  Of gold and tarnished silver
                              Help to hope my star like step-stones
                                   Will give me the first stride
                                                                                                                                        Beyond the celestial doorway
