"Reunion"

12/18/2011

Here is my prayer this shining night, 

To die unafraid, my God, my light,

To live a life more joyful than when,

I was poison to each one of them

I believe that there is a way into God,

Even for Cain, the king of Nod

If I could you know I'd begin again,

If I could only lay by Your side,

And never despair, and never deny

I never want to lose sight again,

I don't ever want to forget my joys,

Though pain has a way of finding those 

Who seek safety with every stride

Somewhere in the unconscious mind,

Where lust for conflict is the reason I lied,

The sins repeating on normal days
But now hear the truth in my own ways

If I deny God three times this night,

How many times will He forgive?

I am an imperfect being in a fallen world,

A stranger to places I once called home

And yes, it is all a mistaken mess,

And yes, everyone here is a lunatic, 

Trying with everything to understand 

So as to find peace with God's master plan

But in the end, so bitter, so sweet,

We will all know what His hands truly held

Whatever it is, in the dark or light

Here is the secret I learned this night

Dear, we can put it all aside

Together we can call it what it is and laugh

Because together we are immune to its death

The stains that penetrate so dull it kills

And the enemy near enough to touch our lips

And everyone's crazy, remember, Dear?

Nothing at all matters where you are here

Hold me tight and never let me go

We cry in each other's arms,

And swallow tears,

When we meet,

When we kiss,

Our faith will pass,

Our memory will pass,

But as long as you stay near to me,

And as long as I am near to you,

I don't mind loosing my mind,

I don't mind dying as long as you're near,

To my flesh and to my soul,

Within the light that we'll never know
