On Our Own

Wading through a ruthless wasteland
Stealing glimpses at the light
Who ever thought we’d be walking without you?
You were the glue that kept us all so tight

Darkness wants to last forever
All that's good just seems to pass
The insight you had that you gave to us freely
You made our view grow brighter and clearer
By passing through your glass

And now that we are on our own
The rain has gotten wetter
All the clouds are more dark
But we will make these things better

Your keen eyes for observation
Peering out for duty's need
I had been blessed when they settled upon me
Flawed and foolish, it was all agreed

As time went on we grew closer
Little secrets get revealed
And all together we could work magic
You helped me to understand the need
Your strength, our shield

And now that we are on our own
The rain has gotten wetter
All the clouds are more dark
But we will make these things better

One less soul who knows our secrets
Another spirit roaming free
For sure I know we’ll take heed of the whispers
Left in our ears like shadows that could be

We have dreams and inner demons
We push on through our regret
We’re thinking about all the joy at our victories
Even while sadness snares us in its net

So I know that we’ll remember
Even if we need you now
It’s easy to start, but it’s so hard to finish
Living without you there’s less to hold on to
It’s so much harder now

And now that we are on our own
The rain has gotten wetter
All the clouds are more dark
But we will make these things better

And now that we are on our own
The road has gotten longer
With every step we take
We are growing ever stronger!
