A million years

Push a pin into my arm
I will bleed like anyone
Pull it out and I forget

On a trail blazed with words
One that I was lost upon
The road that I depended on
I follow no more

Tortured man take your hand
Take it from the fire now
Place it in cool water

A hypocrite is one who prays
Only when he feels pain
It's time to open your eyes
So open your eyes

I could wait a million years
Look into a billion eyes
To find another love like this
I could wait a million years

The slamming door the unseen wall
The hurt I never could forget
I struggle to remember

And take my hand from the fire
Refusing all intended scars
You are cool water
Into you, I swim

I could wait a million years
Look into a billion eyes
To find another love like this
I could wait a million years

Held still in one place for too long
Gone blind to the miracle of saving
I pray this angel in my eyes
Was put here to save my life

Through your eyes I feel your soul
What I feel I must believe
What I believe I live
And this coming from a man who clenched
The truth so tight in his hands
Then opened to find evil
Found trusting
Love again
