We came such a long way
To right every wrong way
Horizons elongate
Rely on our strong faith
Prolong smiles denied us too long
Let them guide us
To some place serene where misdeed cannot find us

Left every demon we faced way behind
And embraced a less needful design
Bleeding aside
We were dry
Now we’re wet
Better yet
Slip and slide
On the crest of this tide
.
We came such a long way
To right every wrong way
.
Nigh on eight billion
And you were the one in
Keeping my heart’s rivers running
.
Nigh on eight billion
And you were the one in
Keeping my heart’s rivers running
.
Rising sky high to glide by each low point at no point succumbed to
Incline to unquestionable heights
And besides
It is festival time every day where we play the one game with no cables to tie us
.
This fable a stable
No danger
Our manger
Is safe as we ain’t in no way or shape strangers

We came such a long way
Becoming so stunning
It feels like a lifetime ago I felt done in
Nigh on eight billion
And you were the one in
Keeping my heart’s rivers running
.
One half decade swatting
No copybook blotted
One love long unspoken
Yet neither forgot it
Survived all that plotted
To lessen the shine
Of a diamond so fetching
Reflection is mine
.
We came such a long way
To right every wrong way

Nigh on eight billion
And you were the one in
Keeping my heart’s rivers running

No question divine
As the sight of you blinds me
To every crime scene I have seen
Then politely proceeds to lead dance
To the sweet tune of chance
That we beam through
Agree to repeatedly charm
With an ease and a calm
Unforeseen less that be in the patchwork of dreams that we darned

Spinning this yarn
With a grin we’re all in
For as long as the odds that we’ll flop
On a royal flush
With a bride so bright blushing
I’m winning then skimming atop
.
Nothing to hush us
Our voices and choices
Free to come up
And not one of us hoisted
Pure as the faith of the ancients we fame
And as sure as an angel rejoices
.
