A Place I Thought I Knew

Alone, gazing out into space
Once full of wonder
I feel its vastness
More than ever before
A cold emptiness fills the walls
Of this place I thought I knew
The absence of your soul has thrown
My heart into despair

What happened to this place I knew
I feel my heart has torn in two
What is this place I thought I knew
A faded distant memory

The air is heavy, the living silent
In memory of eyes that never cry
That never lie, assure that
All will be alright
And though the needs of the many
Outweigh the needs of the few
The heart of one is breaking
Just thinking of you

And here I remain
Still crying out his name
I stand alone
At the dawn of a new horizon
Boldly daring to go
Where none have gone before
Your sacrifice
Inspires the will to carry on
