It hasn't been your time The world has been unkind Although the body wilts Magic flows from the gentle part of you A candle makes no sound Quiet in its power Strong enough to light the way All the while death is just a breath away But love is all around Drifting on the sound waves Rippling through the muddy water on its way to you The will to simply be Comes reluctantly How long can you hold on? Smothered in the shade drowning in the light But love is all around Drifting on the sound waves Rippling through the muddy water on its way to you I heard your muffled sound I called up everything I could to help you let it out The darkness of your song Has made your sentence long Punctuated by light You'll be condemned even though you're right But love is all around Drifting on the sound waves Rippling through the muddy water on its way to you
