With just a few words, I've forgotten why I was there Not for a moment does the laughter seem out of place, or the smiles at all forced... And I find myself asking, "What was I running from?" I'm terrified to face reality To accept the word finality Yet there you are, putting all of us at ease Grace in a mortal body, a lighthouse for the lost, And I didn't want your dying to be my last memory, only you've never seemed so alive... In a world of fallen angels and broken halos, It's hard to ignore your wings. How blind were we, praying for a miracle, When there's a miracle lying in front of me...

Miracles
With just a few words, I've forgotten why I was there Not for a moment does the laughter seem out of place, or the smiles at all forced... And I find myself asking, "What was I running from?" I'm terrified to face reality To accept the word finality Yet there you are, putting all of us at ease Grace in a mortal body, a lighthouse for the lost, And I didn't want your dying to be my last memory, only you've never seemed so alive... In a world of fallen angels and broken halos, It's hard to ignore your wings. How blind were we, praying for a miracle, When there's a miracle lying in front of me...
Dedicated to Crystal Owens, a friend taken from this world too soon...
