The Search for The Grail

If I fell from grace would you be there

To help get me on my feet?

Or would you just smile and laugh?

It's worth my soul to see you smile

 

It took a lifetime to realize

But now I've open eyes

I can see that our Holy Grail

Is something we may never find

 

Now, I can't say that it'll stay this way

All I know is you are the blade

To help cut through this shroud of hate

That has blinded me far too long

 

If the ghosts of the past should rise again

Would you close your eyes, and pretend they'd go away?

Or would you welcome them

With open arms, and empty heart?

 

They rattle the chains that hold you back

And I know it seems you'll never break free

And I'm sure that my words only add to their strength

Just know I'll never mean to make you cry again

 

If you fall from grace, know that I"ll be there

To help you stand again

And though we may never find our grail

Isn't it the search that matters most?
