So very high upon our flight
We bend to touch the ground to see
If we are true or fading out
And then we see each others' light.


Its said our eyes are windows now
Which lead us to our final thoughts
And tell strangers who look our way
A secret which is hiding there.


We've seen the summers' winds at play
And midnight's cold and solitude
But still we look within ourselves
For the true and lasting trust in us.


Those who wish our flame would die
And keep us at our usefulness
Can't buy the outcome with their deeds
Or carry all our inward needs.


So when you think it's all at odds
And when your mind would rather say
That we are not a perfect match
Remember that we came this way.


We are here so far from that
Which brought us to this blissfulness
And all I have or ever thought
Was wasted on the journey here.


To be reborn and starting out
With all my fears and love intact
Is what I've seen so long so hard
To come to where I've longed to be.


I won't look back and see the dawn
'Cause you don't need to know its there
How could we lose our way from here
We've got each other through the years.
