The Keeper Of The Key

I walked down roads where moonlight ceased to shine
A stranger to my shadow, losing track of time
Thirty-seven winters passed without your name
Until fate showed me where my weary soul became my shame

I arrived in ruins, voice choked and faith was gone
But you welcomed chaos, the pain of every drawn-out dawn
The world was a wasteland, and fear was my guide
But in your quiet presence, clarity could finally preside

You are my unbreakable fortress, the keeper of the key
The truest friend my lonely soul dared to decree
You didn't just listen, you saw the gift in me
The power of a love waiting to be set free
In every stumble, you reached out your steady hand
Believed in the fire of my will to rebuild and stand

Technique, compassion, a knowledge strong and rare
Your counsel was the water where my future was laid bare
In every secret told, a haven safe and sound
Where honesty and truth could finally be found

I thought it was the end, the cycle closing fast
But you saw the rebirth, the will to love that forever lasts
The world was a wasteland, and fear was my guide
But in your quiet presence, clarity could finally preside

You are my unbreakable fortress, the keeper of the key
The truest friend my lonely soul dared to decree
You didn't just listen, you saw the gift in me
The power of a love waiting to be set free
In every stumble, you reached out your steady hand
Believed in the fire of my will to rebuild and stand

Friendship's not measured by the time that has flown
But by the deep truth your attention has shown
Thank you for believing in the man I'm yet to be

You are my unbreakable fortress, the keeper of the key
The truest friend my lonely soul dared to decree
You didn't just listen, you saw the gift in me
The power of a love waiting to be set free
In every stumble, you reached out your steady hand
Believed in the fire of my will to rebuild and stand

My truest listener, my best friend
The keeper of the key
