On Our Own

Wading through a ruthless wasteland

Stealing glimpses at the light

Who ever thought we’d be walking without you

You were the glue that kept us all so tight

Darkness wants to last forever

All that's good just seems to pass

The insight you had that you gave to us freely

You made our view grow brighter and clearer

By passing through your glass

And Now that we are on our own

The rain has gotten wetter

All the clouds are more dark

But we will make these things better

Your keen eyes for observation

Peering out for duty's need

I had been blessed when they settled upon me

Flawed and foolish, it was all agreed

As time went on we grew closer

Little secrets get revealed

And all together we could work magic

You helped me to understand the need

Your strength, our shield

And now that we are on our own

The rain has gotten wetter

All the clouds are more dark

But we will make these things better

One less soul who knows our secrets

Another spirit roaming free

For sure I know we’ll take heed of the whispers

Left in our ears like shadows that could be

We have dreams and inner demons

We push on through our regret

We’re Thinking about all the joy at our victories

Even while sadness snares us in its net

So I know that we’ll remember

Even if we need you now

It’s easy to start, but it’s so hard to finish

Living without you there’s less to hold on to

It’s so much harder now.

And now that we are on our own

the rain has gotten wetter

All the clouds are more dark

But we will make these things better

And now that we are on our own

The road has gotten longer

With every step we take

We are growing ever stronger
