Father, Son & Holy Ghost

You were the dream that survived

Lost in the darkness of eternity

You were the hope kept alive

Embraced by tomorrows that we all could never quite see

You had a beauty denied, you were the moment

But here in this night where your dream carries on

Never quite there but it's never quite gone

You are the star that is wished upon forever

You were the one that believed

Long past when belief was a memory

The child time would never concede

Faith and tomorrow and all of the things that might be

You had a beauty denied, a glittering moment

But here in this night where your dream carries on

Never quite there but it's never quite gone

You are the star that is wished upon forever

Do you believe in night, does it hold you close?

When you're at your last card

Pray hard,

Father, Son and

Holy Ghost

Still the night rolls on, brings you to your knees

When you look back that far

Each scar suddenly just starts to bleed

The night it keeps burning while twisting and turning

Its way to tomorrow, its joys and its sorrows

Our secrets beneath her, we drive each stake deeper

Then offer to barter but each deal is harder

The cloaks we keep changing while gliding through weddings

Of nights to their morning, of dreams to their dawning

While reaching for moments, the world has forbidden

The kindness inside them so carefully hidden

The pages keep turning but no one is learning

They feed them to pyres to stoke up their fires

Of ignorance, apathy, forbidding charity

The flames, they grow higher, could such be desired

And Christ and

Confucius, are all their words useless?

We quote them in fractions but not in our actions

Aurelius and

Hugo, Auden and

GibranThe words they have written seem so quickly gone

For somewhere there's dirt that was once reddish mud

From soaking up liquid that was a man's blood

But both earth and

God, they have deemed to forgive

So each year in the spring new flowers do live

And of all the authors your favorite was

WildeWith each timeless story, all penned with such style

Of fairytale kingdoms where ogres save children

And no gardens have walls so all children might use them

And since that's the ending you valued the most

You cling to that card,

Father, Son and

Holy Ghost

Never quite there but it's never quite gone

You are the star that is wished upon forever
