Forever Watching Over You

It’s time
To take my place inside your dream; to take that step to reach your side,
To find the when that you are now
Along the tangle of your life.

I know
That I cannot touch your heart - other than with every word;
I cannot reach across the void
While you recreate the world.

Sailor on the seas of time;
Castaway, adrift, alone ...
Though you wreak the world anew,
Never forget that I’m here too,
Forever watching over you
Through the window on your life ...

You dance
Among shadows that aren’t real, in the image of what was;
Wearing faces not your own
You improvise your part.

I stand
A watcher without form, a heckler in the wings;
I am the prompter for your play,
The critic in the dark.

Sailor on the seas of time;
Castaway, adrift, alone ...
When you must rewrite your lines,
Then I’ll be here with your review,
Forever watching over you
Through the window on your life ...

You Leap
Through the times you used to know, among the lives you seek to change
Setting right what once went wrong
In the patterns of the past

I want
To reach out and bring you home, to see you safe and sound
But the path that you pursue
Is beyond my influence.

Sailor on the seas of time;
Castaway, adrift, alone ...
Whichever star you follow now
Remember that I follow too
Forever watching over you
Through the window on your life ...

Believe
That there is reason in your deeds, that you do what you must do;
Each task that you receive
Has a purpose and a need.

My prayer
Is to keep you safe from harm, to protect you on your quest,
And in ghostly partnership
I offer what aid I can.

Sailor on the seas of time;
Castaway, adrift, alone ...
Whatever may become of you
You know that I will be there too,

Forever watching over you
Through the window on your life ...
