Lyrics

Heaven today is but a way
To a place I once called home
Heart of a child, one final sigh
As another love goes cold
Once my heart beat to the rhythm of the falling snow
Blackened below
The river now flows
A stream of molten virgin snow
For the heart I'll never have
For the child, forever gone
The music flows
Because it longs
For the heart I once had
Living today without a way
To understand the weight of the world
Faded and torn
Old and forlorn
My weak and hoping heart
For the child
For the light
For the heart I once had
I believe and foresee
Everything I could ever be
For the heart I'll never have
For the child, forever gone
The music flows
Because it longs
For the heart I once had
Time will not heal
A dead boy's scars
Time will kill
For the heart I'll never have
For the child, forever gone
The music flows
Because it longs
For the heart I once had
