Story Behind The Song

Fearful and painful experiences in the writer's life

Song Description

How the challenges and pitfalls that happen to every one in life can be transcended through love and understanding

Lyrics

There are ways that we?re all broken
And we cannot be repaired
With our secrets left unspoken
And the fears that can?t be shared
And yet still were out there searching
For a bright and better place
To arrange a new expression
On a cynical old face

Chorus:

But would I had a beacon
Or a guide to help you find
All the shining sacred places
In your heart and soul and mind
Or a magic wand to break through
All your doubts and set them free
Well I?d wave it once for you my friend
And I?d wave it once for me


Though outside we seem complacent
In our minds we can?t refrain
From the old recriminations
That go banging in our brain
Though we see what we?ve accomplished
Still we grieve for what we lack
And we hope were moving forward
Because time won?t be turned back

Chorus ?..

No I don?t want to subject you
To my maudlin little hell
Like a soft and sloppy oyster
That left home without its shell
Im too old to be precocious
And to large to be a waif
Im not looking for prince charming
Just a place where I feel safe

Chorus ??..
