Song Lyrics from the album Celestial Chrysalis
Patience while I reminisce
My years of pain mixed with bliss
Your compass guides you north
But sometimes the road will fork
Embrace the detours ahead
Potholes need not cause you dread
Chutes and ladders slide you off your path
Roll the dice, move your piece,
and advance
Take my hand
Life is bittersweet
Peaks and valleys
Await your feet
Tether me
If you bleed, I bleed
Anchor to me
You see I've held you for eternity
Traveling east, sun lights your face
Your shadow behind keeps apace
Follow your compass north
But veering south too has worth
One note of caution to yield
Joy and terror you will field
Wine only gets you so far
Goes down smoothly,
comes up with a roar
Sweet and bitter
Life is sweet and bitter
Fire flames warm you but burn your skin
You can choose
Take my hand Life is bittersweet
Peaks and valleys
Await your feet
Tether me If you bleed, I bleed
Anchor to me
You see I've held you for eternity
Life is sweet and bitter
Oh so sweet and bitter
Fire flames warm you but burn your skin
You can choose
Take my hand
Life is bittersweet
Peaks and valleys
Await your feet
Tether me
If you bleed, I bleed
Anchor to me
You see I've held you for eternity
