Every Kingdom

Look out from the tower
 Over all you can see
 That was your kingdom
 And you were a queen
 I'd wait by the driveway
 Counting down your return
 Afraid I might lose you
 If I prayed the wrong words
 But every kingdom must fall
 Well time is a giver
 And time is a thief
 For all that we lose
 We surely must grieve
 And grief is a friend we don't know 'til we meet
 She walks alongside us 'til we find relief
 Though every kingdom must fall
 Well I have lost friends
 Lovers and dreams
 Out of these trembling hands
 Have fallen many things
 But inside is a fire
 Burning faint but long
 It purges then it urges me on
 Though every kingdom must fall
 And words cannot be undone
 But all things can be made new
 In every sorrow, a song
 It won't be long
 Though the space in between now
 Seems too far to reach
 Times I've imagined
 A bridge in between
 And if I could be water
 That's what I'd be
 Stretch my arms out to reach
 Both shores beyond me
