Soen - Virtue

For all these years you sit and wait for something new
For all this time you watch them grieving over you
In solitude you search for writings on the wall
Your bedroom’s full of broken memories, that’s all

But the stars will turn your way
And the healers will stand up, sing and pray

Someday you’ll be on your mark
Someday no more drifting off
And you’ll untie their tethered hearts

When the world will be as one
and the dreamers will lead you on,
you’re the guide, you’re the leash
“Be near me, I’m your priest
and all I’ve said is done”

When tears taste sweet, and your saliva is healing glue
When needles penetrate your skin to make it through
When angels meet and greet you halfway down the hall
Speak now or forever hold your peace behind closed doors

Sleeping night and day,
waves come take you away
Just leaving for a while,
leave a world in decay
With dreamers on your side
and the strength of your leash

The stars will turn your way one day
and the healers will stand up, sing and pray

Someday you’ll be on your mark
Someday no more drifting off
and you’ll untie their tethered hearts

When the world will be as one
and the dreamers will lead you on
You’re the guide, you’re the leash
“Be near me, I’m your priest
and all I’ve said is done”
