Only once will I see you
Only once will I hear you speak
All my life I have heard you call
But only once I will follow
And do so without choice
For there will no longer be freedom when I have heard you speak
And so you will always have the last word

You have hovered over me long enough
Disguised and Patient
You waited
For just a touch
You watched me live
Watched me breathe every second

I guess my whole life has been counting down to this moment
When your touch will free me of what gave me freedom and what made me bound
Of what gave me sight and made me blind
Of what made me rich and made me poor
Of what showed me love and brought me pain
Of what made every breathing second worth the rain

I wonder how it feels to follow and never be seen
Always be so close and yet seem so irrelevant
To see the path before the grass is cleared
To be the end when the end is feared.
