it is long after midnight, when spirits come to talk
for during the day, we busily are just here to walk
finally we come to hear them coming to us in their need
at the end of our day when we finally drift off to sleep
a road we have never taken, but this we will know
that they were our ancestors, living life of long ago
but now we are intwined, together as one
when they come out to find, what we all have become
we then will begin to slowly drift off, in a different time of place
whispers are they forging, to come forth and cross through to your world
they are coming for a rest, to see also if you are willing
to take them inside at their request
then they are waiting to see both are we
in a place that was once theirs
for us to become aware
bewitched and bewildered as they are to us
you then begin to see them crossing that bridge,
built for both, you and me
for we are they and they are we!
both of us bound!
to ancestors of old long put under our ground
fare the well, family of gold.
then your mind starts looking at all of
their wanderings, through plight, days of yore, the last of their fights
we now see them more clearly as well as they see us
inside this one only mind then we begin to sink
why art ye calling what brought you here into this space
you think quietly, as they come closer,
to share views of what they did for us to all know
you begin your own watching of that one day
of crossing, holding each other's hand and walking
one by one
coming for us to see how grand, they really were!
some say they are trying to gain, their own courage
to tell us what we all have to go through!
those lands of mistakes, and all those truths.
souls are we, each wandering through,
side by side on a road,
crossing a bridge you both do hold
why are they here? are they trying to say
you will only know, as you are sinking further away
have they come to tell you, who they were?
in a past from long ago, inside another world
we then slip into their time
making this our final testament to family
ancestors of many, always to stay
for they are the reason for living today!
a blissful truth comes from within your sleep,
and we know now what we were meant to see.
we break into pieces to suddenly weep
for you will never know what they all went through
giving all that they had within their life
this is what they did for us all, and
especially for you so...
do you now hear them calling?
coming for us this one final day
oh, it tis' so very soon!
