All This Time

I wake to the sweetest sound
A rhythm once lost now found
A pattern to frame my mind, and fill my ears
A body once held so still
Deep within it a heart left to fill
As gravity loses hold, the sound grows near
Before it lets the blood rush in
To drown my heart again
Can you hear it beat my friend
I’ll wake up when you touch down
Closing the space at the speed of sound
Holding you tight, keeping you safe at night
I’ve been your guiding light all this time
All this time
The silence is left behind
Once a body at rest comes alive
In search of a place to feel the warmest glow
And someone can heal so fast
When the present’s not holding the past
As gravity loses hold, let us go
Before it lets the blood back in
To fill the heart within
Can you feel it beat my friend
