Together we are afraid
Of what has it come down to

A silence, a lonely place
The fear of a sound that begins to erase
The kindness of an open heart...
A beginning that went too haste

Delayed are our lines that start and end
The words that never meant to pretend
They spread like the wildfire
Without a vessel, they expire

Does it make the world a better place
To know that it was not right
Does it hear the cries
To give it meaning, to transpire

An open heart wouldn't take this on
A distant thought which follows along
The chance of being at one
A chance of making the dream sing along...
