if i could remember

a face i'd never seen

deep in these embers

that glow on endlessly

what would they tell me

if others had lost their faith

what would they sell me

if we had lost our way



if i could wake up

and see another day

if i could fake all

the lies i'd never said

how would i know you

if i had turned away

what that would show you

i never could have said



and we've got to run

deep through these forests

or hang upon the hill

i've got a wish

something to promise

but, no i never will



if i could walk out

and see another sky

if i could talk about

the heavens that had cried

how i would love you

and never walk away

how i would show you

i've never had to pray



and we've got to run

deep through these forests

or hang upon the hill

i've got a wish

something to promise

but, no i never will



if i could walk out

no, i'd never lie...
