Boden's Song

*open your eyes one more time for me

you need to know we’re here and that we always will be

open your eyes one more time for me

let me know before you go, that you can 

sell me the book of life

a page of poetry

I’ve memorized it back to front and let it lead

burdened the ties attached

and nurtured all the seeds

at times entangled i was able to break free 

from the fog of war

that’s waged in me

hard to bargain or intervene

i just need some sign of peace so…*

give me the strength to find

the root of all my fear

dissolve within the puddles of my flowing tears

focus my field of view

on what i fail to see

and help recover something that was taken from me
