Wading through a ruthless wasteland Stealing glimpses at the light Who ever thought we’d be walking without you You were the glue that kept us all so tight Darkness wants to last forever All that's good just seems to pass The insight you had that you gave to us freely You made our view grow brighter and clearer By passing through your glass And Now that we are on our own The rain has gotten wetter All the clouds are more dark But we will make these things better Your keen eyes for observation Peering out for duty's need I had been blessed when they settled upon me Flawed and foolish, it was all agreed As time went on we grew closer Little secrets get revealed And all together we could work magic You helped me to understand the need Your strength, our shield And now that we are on our own The rain has gotten wetter All the clouds are more dark But we will make these things better One less soul who knows our secrets Another spirit roaming free For sure I know we’ll take heed of the whispers Left in our ears like shadows that could be We have dreams and inner demons We push on through our regret We’re Thinking about all the joy at our victories Even while sadness snares us in its net So I know that we’ll remember Even if we need you now It’s easy to start, but it’s so hard to finish Living without you there’s less to hold on to It’s so much harder now. And now that we are on our own the rain has gotten wetter All the clouds are more dark But we will make these things better And now that we are on our own The road has gotten longer With every step we take We are growing ever stronger
