I Believe

(Unfinished)

I see the blackbirds
In the distance
Lookin' down
On you and me

Sit perched on the wires
And wait for one of us
To finally break free

Oh, but the thought of you
Is in my head
And floats around the canyons
Of my heart

Like two birds of prey
Left unfed
Desire hunts for love
From afar in the dark

So tell me
Tell me
Tell me what you see
Show me the way
Back to the light
Of love's safety

I'll reach out
And have these wings to beat
Lift me up
So I can say
I believe

Yes, I believe

And as I climb the stairs
The boards creak and moan...
Through the eyes of a window
Blackbirds appear
By the light of the moon

And they stare into the silence
Of loneliness
...
...

And when you look at me
So far away
Can't find the words
To say to you
Anymore

Oh, so tell me
Tell me
Tell me what you see
Show me the way
Back to the light of love's safety
Back to the light
Back to the light!

I'll reach out
And have these wings to beat
Have these wings to beat!
Lift me up
So I can say
I believe

I believe we've been through this before
Both too proud and too stubborn
To pull out the thorns

And those vultures
That wait for love to die
We can chase away
Chase away from our lives

Yes, I believe

Oh, so tell me
Can you tell me what you see
Show me the way
Back to the light of love's safety
Back to the light
Back to the light!

Oh, I'll reach out
And have these wings to beat
Have these wings to beat!
Lift me up
So I can say
I believe

I believe
Yes, I believe
