about

Many things in my life have changed and continue to, but I still have one safe harbour that will always remain constant. Thank you.

lyrics

Through each storm
That would threaten me
Is a constant guiding light

Every mile I cross
Every step I climb
Is fortified

With your strength
So much greater
Than my own

And the world
Before my eyes
Blooms in colour

So the moon
Has waxed and waned
The seasons cycled
And returned again
Idols have crumbled
In the constant wind and rain
But time does not
Erode all things

And I still see you
Moving through the haze
Unobstructed

Cutting through the fog
That has unfurled further
Covering the spaces between

Burdens carried upon your back
Would have crushed
Most bones to splinters

But you have borne the fruit
Of a life made brighter
By this joining

Carved into the granite of my heart
Etched into the steel of my mind

So the moon
Has waxed and waned
The seasons cycled
And returned again
Idols have crumbled
In the constant wind and rain
But time does not
Erode all things
