Adrian Snell My Every Breath
I would never ever leave you
I watched over your first footsteps
Come to me and I will give you rest
Ever since you were a child
I loved you as a father loves his own
But the more I sought to bring you home
The more you wandered far away
How you strained to break away alone
With hardened eyes
How you turned your open hearts
To hearts of stone
We could have made this journey hand in hand
Enjoyed the goodness of this land...
Couldn't we? Couldn't we?
Now a darkness fails upon you
Blinds your eyes and turns your gold to dust
But my heart is changed within me
How compassion fills my every breath
Within me, how compassion fills my every breath
