these roads we’ve gone down
have led us to here
and here is a hard place
with so much to fear
we’ve got to press on, love,
and hold our hearts close
don’t let our words blind us
when we get lost

you know love cannot promise
to keep us the same
and love can’t protect us
from loss and from pain
and time in its passing
again and again
breaks through our trances
cuts in on our dances
gives us the chance
to be human
