One Hollow Word

In a world where I can't seem to catch my breath With the fear and the doubt weighing on my chest Tears in the fading light And a glimpse through the fog where we've been confined A glimpse of the other side The soul may depart But the light in our hearts Lets your memory echo forever In the coldest nights In the darkest times We will carry your memory forth When the north wind bites By the moon's dim light Look skyward and remember Your spirit of adventure carries on Your spirit carries on When the search for a meaning's left me cold And these aching bones feel old It's the memory of brighter days That takes my hand and lights the way It fills me with hope Anywhere that I go In the coldest nights In the darkest times We will carry your memory forth When the north wind bites By the moon's dim light Look skyward and remember Your spirit of adventure carries on A soul in moments from flesh unbound The hand of chaos from high reached down Another relic from life it stole The hand of chaos exacts it's toll And there's nothing I could say that'll make things right But I can put the notes together in a way you'd like Try to match them with a phrase that reminds me of you And try to make you proud There's nothing I could say that'll make things right But I can put the notes together in a way you'd like And look up to the skies and remember And try to make you proud
