Healers and Heroes

 A wise friend once told me stay strong and smile
that storms only rage fo just a little while
at first it was hard to believe in that comfort
and tell myself that maybe my battle wasn't over
then I fell, thinking only time would tell
but love, it heals, little by little til
all is made well

I live and breathe the hope of the unseen
strive to succeed in the life I have dreamed
on my own the path is too treacherous
but oh how far I've come, since a fleeting moment
led me to your arms wide open, healer and hero
one in the many, but you haven't come alone
in the shadows of the outcries, they stand firm
the stars in the darkness bringing new light
healers and heroes, ready to fight

To a friend I promised that he'd be okay
if he just held onto the horizon of better days
and for a moment I thought my eyes were decieved
when out of the weariness a smile I did see
when he falls, cursing the pattern of it all
oh love, still heals, always mending the wounds
til he stands tall

I live and breathe the hope of the unseen
strive to succeed in the life I have dreamed
on my own the path is too treacherous
but oh how far I've come, since a fleeting moment
led me to your arms wide open, healer and hero
one in the many, but you haven't come alone
in the shadows of the outcries, they stand firm
the stars in the darkness bringing new light
healers and heroes, ready to fight
