you've got to enjoy the moment while it happens
you can't wait another day
though you want to know just how and when it happens
you can't skip to the last page

though you can't see it there
hope is in the air
though you don't feel it now
you will soon be proud

you're life broke down and that is when it happened
cleared the clutter of false cares
and you see a path ahead on the horizon
and wonder just how you'll make it there

well life is big enough
for things to get real rough
you tried hard to escape
now help is on the way

nothing will come as you think it should happen
you'll always want another way
but now is the time to show what you are made of
there's never been a better place

I know that they're just words
not easily heard
but just for today
everything will be okay

I wish I could stay forever yours
I'd woo you with forgotten charms
sometimes happiness is such a chore
but never when I'm in your arms

but you have flown so far away

winter's frost has bitten at my door
and driven you in search of warm
my loneliness is echoed in the snow
a life reset, an empty page

still you have flown so far from me

sparrow
please don't leave me
sparrow
don't you need me
sparrow
I wasn't born with your wings
sparrow
I've only got these broken things
sparrow
don't you need me
sparrow
please don't leave me
sparrow
no need to be lonely
sparrow
you've got a home
come nest inside my life

I wish I could stay forever yours
I'd woo you with forgotten charms
sometimes happiness is such a chore
but never when I'm in your arms

still you have flown so far from me

the days pass slowly
while she's at home
the sun is creeping
on tip-toes
she is waiting
'cause she don't know
how her story will unfold

it's all familiar
in a way
but she's a stranger
in this place
drawing pictures
losing fixtures
of her mind
she's not alright

there's no life for her here
only strife for her here
there's no life for her here
here at home

the nights pass slowly
while she's at home
the moon is creeping
on tip-toes
she's still waiting
'cause she don't know
when she'll see him
and when he'll go

her friends have children
they're half grown
and though they surround her
she is alone
the whistle's blowing
she has to go
she will miss them
while she's on the road

there's no life for her here
only strife for her here
there's no life for her here
here at home

your time is running out
though you kick and shout

note the ticking clock
as it steals away the day
with its hands that never stop
to consider yesterday
because you say I see things
just in black and white
and that you will never wed one
with such a broken mind

our time is running out
though we kick and shout

you have shattered me
as a fallen glass
and though I will never understand
just how it came to pass
at least now I know you see things
in paler shades of grey
and you will never love me
quite enough that way

there's nothing more that you can say
there's no one here to save the day
get on your knees and start to pray

no one will make it easy for us
but we will find a way
and I will do my part
to pave the way for you to stay

I will work
'cause I still dream
to be free

you wake up and you grasp
for something good inside another day
but you've lost your only smile
and forgotten all the ways to play

you just work
'cause you still dream of what it means
to be free

I don't know what's good inside of me
I've found nothing worth my time to be
cling to you 'til there's no more room to breathe
is this what it means to be free

I hope that I'm wrong
I hope that I'm wrong
and I hope its not long
'til we're free

love is everywhere
flowing through the air
we are unaware
that love is everywhere
open your eyes and see
open your heart and see
open your eyes and see
open your heart to me
