Forever Wash Away

Forever Wash Away
 
 
You look so angelic when you are sleeping
How many secrets is your heart keeping?
 
Escape to the passion of your dreams
Where reality is never what it seems
 
The moon is smiling down upon you
The bearer of a heart that’s still true
 
Rise with the dawning of the morning sun
Enjoy each new day as if life’s just begun
 
Reach out and kiss the morning mist
You’ve never known a love such as his
 
Your poor heart so bloodied and bruised
It has grown so tired of being used
 
Can’t seem to tame the burning fire inside
It is on the waves of discontent that you ride
 
You pray for an ending to all of your sorrow
That there’s new hope on the wind tomorrow
 
Forever wash away about a million tears
Journey back through those loving years
 
To love yourself is the greatest gift of all
Be there to catch you should you fall
 
Close your eyes and you will come to know
Warm in your bed when the bitter wind blows
 
Say your prayers in the quiet darkness of night
Offerings to the Lord with every candle you light
 
No one knows your heart but you and the Lord
Don’t allow yourself to live and die by the sword
 
May he forever wash away your sins
Plant a seed and allow new life to begin
