Long is the road

What I tell you now is true, my child.
Sit by the stream and wait a while.
Soon you will see a world you never knew.
Take my hand. I'll lead you through.
Through all you are and all you do,
Remember this place I'm showing you.
This is what life is, dear one.
There not much light. There's not much sun.
These things are rare in our fragile hearts.
Every day, we're torn apart.
I can not change these things so real.
I weep for you. How cold I feel.
I never wished such a tragic truth
For you are still young, not yet a youth.
If I could take your place today
You wouldn't even have to say
A single word to make me go.
I'd do anthing to overthrow
For you this curse upon us all.
Don't be like me. Don't cry and fall.
The road is long, my child, but remember these things.
One day your life could change everything.
As we walk under this sky so grey,
We ever still await the day
When it all just goes away.
The road is long, my child, remember these things.
