I pray for you and wish I could do more, But more I cannot do from far away. Like leaves before the wind we cannot stay, Ripped dancing, dancing to the forest floor. I wish I could your ailing health restore And bring you to the strength of yesterday, But all we mortal souls can do is pray That God might alter what we have in store. The beauty in our fragile life is love, The only thing that makes the moment matter, The golden thread that binds us all in light. I wish, I wish I could your pain remove, But like a wall the truth my will must shatter, And so I send my prayers into the night.
