To The Ones Who Walk In The Open, a song poetry

TO THE ONES WHO WALK IN THE OPEN

(with love)

god knows where we ought to stand

but god won't want to share

says we've got to live our own lives

if we want to get there

every time you let me down

i know just what you mean

i still remember how it felt

to want everything

and so i'll raise my glass again

make a toast to the blood you've shared

drain my drink and pray

for a tomorrow night

lost in a darker life time

we suffer the same fate

seen your calming face in the glass

and i've begun to feel

life could never break your hold

on the souls of this world

every chance is taken whole

every word is bold

and so i'll raise my glass tonight

make a toast to the blood you've spent

drain my drink and pray

for a bright tomorrow

and every time you let me down

i know just where you stand

i still remember how it feels

to love everything

everything

and everything you deserve

everything

and everything i've lost

everything

and everything

and

i'd love you anyway.
