Death of a silence
gives birth to a song
just at that moment
who tells them apart
Unfurling images
fragrant and strong
heard by the ear
then seen by the heart
Moment by moment
the song now appears
tenderly weaving
its wonderful tale
Winding the words
through the whispering years
gathering wind
that the soul may set sail
Rising from open sea
wing on the light
proud and free
Breaking those darkened chains
soaring the skies
and kissing the stars
again
Carry the torch
Carry the torch
Carry the torch
Carry this light
breathing and bright
Lingering sorrow
and pains that endure
still taint the laughter
of children at play
Still feed the doubts
of the weak and unsure
still stalk the dreamer
that keeps them at bay
Mystical motion
of courage and peace
spin for the dreamer
your magical lore
Spanning the oceans
and planets with ease
carry the sailor
back home to the shore
Comfort the living man
give him the strength
and hope that you can
Comfort the dying man
kissing his soul
you know he will
live again
Carry the torch
Carry the torch
Carry the torch
Then give it your breath
as it reaches another
death
