Lyrics

i used to dream about the heroes of stories
as life became an endless night
when hope was gone you resurrected my spirit
brought me from darkness into light

i can sense a storm is coming, anchoring you to me

far beneath my skin and bones
i harbor my divided soul
my greatest source of strength might be my downfall
but love was not a choice to me
i held my breath and took a leap
and when i lose myself you help me stand so tall

i listen closely and hear sweet strains of music
i'm captured in a reverie
through all these years you've been my quiet salvation
reflecting who I want to be

please for my sake no more talk of blessings and curses tonight


far beneath my skin and bones
i harbor my divided soul
my greatest source of strength might be my downfall
but love was not a choice for me
i held my breath and took a leap
when i lose myseld you help me stand so tall

standing in silence we look out at the water
amazed how much the world has changed
i see behind your eyes such wisdom and sorrow
you're wondering if we're still the same

i felt more love than i could give in just one lifetime

far beneath my skin and bones
i safekeep our united souls
my greatest source of strength is not my downfall
because love was not a choice for me
i held your hand and took a leap
i'll never lose myself you help me stand so tall
