a hypothetical relationship of equalities

a begining

it's late night
the quiet dawn
coming on like thunder
and we will stand face forward into the light
into whatever the world might throw at us
and i would never let you stand alone
i would always guide your steps
and i would never let you fight alone
heaven help us if we both get lost

i want to be the one who saves you
when your back is up aginst a wall
and i want to be the one who holds you
when your pride has taken the fall

and an ending

i have wanted for all my lifetime
to have need for just an instant
and i want to always be the one...
but i won't be there at all

in this life we have only sadness
sorrow wrought from a world of madness
dying fires in your eyes
embers in my hand
from the bridges we have burned
all that's left of us will be ashes in the wind
