The chains remain with locks undone
The house remains it's reason one
Broken twines are rotten through
Replaced with a line that's strong and true
Free from wings in heaven nest
Without the song from the eagles breast
A single prick could take your life
A needle on the beach of life
Know your heart and hold it strong
Never can it lead you wrong
The winds blow and storm clouds go
but without the rain what would grow?
Go the way that the water flows
Sail the way that the strong wind blows
Not upstream, not against the tide
Against the wind, the sails won't fly
Hear my song and hear the cries
Look within those sad blue eyes
Let her live among her lies
Only then will she realize
The winds blow and the storm clouds go
But without the rain, nothing would grow
