Keep Us Connected

A pattern repeating

I find myself here all alone

I know

I'll pick up the pieces

Repair what is broken alone

I know

Memories etched in my mind

Of mom and dad

A cool big brother I would idolize

So full of laughter

And I could trust in the four of us

They flew away

Nothing to indicate

Calamity

All so young and alive

Ohhhh

They ruptured into a million shards of light

And none of them would survive

How come everywhere that I go, I'm solo?

Am I at my best unaccompanied?

My whole life has been

"Fix this," and save you

I'll light the path

And keep us connected

My fabric is woven

With love and loss

I was just a cadet

When we met

Hemmer's belief in me changed my life

I found my place

And said, "Goodbye"

I absorb all the pain

I hear everyone's voice calling my name

Building systems, I strengthen ties that bind

So no one has to be alone

How come everywhere that I go, I'm solo?

Am I at my best unaccompanied?

My whole life has been

"Fix this," and save you

I'll light the path

And keep us connected

The patterns repeating

Guiding and teaching me

I know, I know

Listen for signals

I'm here

You are reaching me

Come home

Everywhere I go, I'm good with solo

At my best, I have everything I need

My whole life has been

"Fix this," and save you

That's what I do

I keep us connected

I keep us connected
