I wish I had one more moment
I wish I had one more day
To be able to say the things I think
To be able to do the things I miss
I want to embrace your beauty
I want to bask in your light
I pray for time to go faster
I pray for time to pause
I wish it was a video camera
So I could have control
But it is water and sand
slipping through my finger tips
But it is like a dandelion
with a gust of wind and it's gone
Something so brief has so much impact
something so simple runs so deep

I come from a broken home
broken hears and broken lives
nothing certain and nothing permanent
I need to feel the sun on my head
the wind at my back
and the road up ahead
This life i lead
will one day end
this tired body
will lay down to rest
That day isn't soon
and I will travel
wherever the wind blows
the grass is green
on someone else's hill
so I'll go there
moving from place to place
no one will hold me back
I've broken all ties

I was encouraged by your words
so comforting and true
when the world turned gray
I knew I could run to you
You're safe
You're real
You're everything I needed
but fate is cruel
and will never let us begin
so there can never be an end
my soul flies
at the sound of your voice
listening to each change in tone
it sounds like a melody
sweet like love
the love that runs dry
because the faucet can never be turned on
I would run with you forever
I would wait
till I turned to stone
Your words were all I needed
I'm yours forever.
