The Changeling

Two souls that touched just passing through
I hope you remember me as I remember you
I hope truth will last as long as a sky of blue
Too many broken hearts survivors only a few,

What does it take to get through to another?
To a lover a brother a sister a mother
So cruel so passionate do we ever recover?
We all bleed the same blood and suffer,

If I could only stop the pain by using my hand
I'd spread that cure clear across the land
But sadly, I'm just one mortal man
I might just sing out of key and spoil the band,

Who among you ever really gave a damn?
All of our vain pursuits on shifting sands
If we were all messiahs wouldn't that be grand
The taste of righteousness seems a little bland,

Words are mean but missiles can break my bones
Be careful by which master you are truly owned
Remember when speaking to God watch your tone
There can be a fate much worse than being alone,

You and I could have spent a life together
But your loyalty was more like wind and a feather
How I hated to break that romantic tether
For you, losing me was just a change in the weather,

What does it all mean in the scheme of things
Fractured families broken homes lost wedding rings
When was the last time you even heard a bird sing?
I fear now I will forever be a changeling.
