I grieve a love from a dream I had last night
I grieve a smile from a person I saw yesterday
I grieve a hug I let go a little bit earlier
I grieve a hand I didn't hold, afraid it goes away

Then it went, and now I grieve a love from a dream
I grieve harmonies we never sang
I grieve gazes from lost eyes,
Eyes that will never lock into each other's sights
I grieve stolen glances, brief smiles and deep looks

I grieve a love from a poem I never wrote
I grieve a song from a heart I never loved
I grieve a melody from a guitar I never played
I grieve a breeze from a wind I never felt

I grieve a silence from a noise I never heard
I grieve tears from moments I never lived
I grieve life from memories I never made
I grieve a love from a dream I never dreamt

And so i'm now sixty-four
What did i achieve
I look back in time
And learnt how to grieve

I grieve for the living
I grieve for the dead
I grieve for the loss of love
And grieve for things unsaid

I grieve for the loss of humanity
And the brutality of this race
I grieve for the insanity
And the loss of a loving embrace

I grieve for all the abused children
And their mothers who have died in vain
And the multitude of starving millions
And for those that feel this pain

I grieve for the state of the environment
And a climate that wont be changed
I grieve with the reality of it all
That our future lies in the hands of the deranged

Who believe their wealth will save them
When the planet finally falls apart
I grieve for their ignorance
And i grieve for my broken heart
