The ghosts we carried lose their names, As yesterday is left behind. The weight we wore through the broken years Falls silent where forgiveness stands. No throne was won, no hero crowned, Just open hearts and open hands. The road we walked has disappeared, The future died so hope could live. We searched for home across the years, And found it in the chance to forgive. The clocks still turn but not for us, The path we knew has come undone. The world that built these battered souls Has vanished with the rising sun. So here and now, an angel answered all my prayers. My heart breathes free as a new world has opened up for me. No more running from the echoes, No more reaching for what's gone. The place we came from lies in memory, But not beyond this dawn. No machine can find a doorway To a home erased by grace. So side by side we'll plant our roots In this forgotten place. A lifetime lost became a gift, A sacrifice no song could name. We came to stop the end of all— And learned that we were part of the flame. A hand reaches out across the fire, Another hand reaches back again. The scars remain, but not the chains. The tears remain, but not the blame. So here and now, an angel answered all my prayers. My heart breathes free as a new world has opened up for me. I won't dare turn away and close my eyes to where I've been. All we have is today when tomorrow is never seen again. If tomorrow was a promise, Let it live in someone else. We'll stay here where the sun is rising, Leaving yesterday to rest. No road remains to lead us home Because home was never there. We'll write tomorrow from today, With nothing left to fear. If tomorrow was a promise, Let it live in someone else. We'll stay here where the sun is rising, Leaving yesterday to rest.
