Black thorn

"Black Thorn"
As I have watched you pass like a shooting star
Like the sun, I wonder just where you are
I had your back; I thought that you had mine
Guess your faith couldn’t stand the test of time
So bail away your sinking ship of pain
Flushing down what’s stood for down the drain
Sheath your tongue, your words mean nothing at all
I will still be there for you when you fall

It doesn’t matter when you ran your race
It’s not about how you set your pace
In the end will you be true?
And if you can’t, I’m forgetting you

And I have prayed as you passed like falling rain
Once a gem, then turned to a speck of grain
Don’t give it up, blood is thicker than wine
Is there any reason to your rhyme?
Walk the walk and speak what you mean to say
Face the facts. Keep walking day by day
Let the past die with the troubles of the morn
Say farewell to fields of thorns

It doesn’t matter when you ran your race
It’s not about how you set your pace
In the end will you be true?
If you can’t, I’m forgetting you

Briars of blackthorns! Briars of blackthorns!
Briars of blackthorns! Briars of blackthorns!

It doesn’t matter how you ran your race
It doesn’t matter how you set the pace
In the end will you be true?
If you can’t, I’m forgetting you

As I have watched you pass like a shooting star
Like the sun, I wonder just where you are
I had your back; I thought that you had mine
Guess your faith couldn’t stand the test of time
