...THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE... (I HOPE...) THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE... (I HOPE...) THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE... (I HOPE...) THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE... 
THE WRITTEN GARDENS...THE WRITTEN GARDENS...THE WRITTEN GARDENS...THE WRITTEN GARDENS

AMY'S GARDENS


you were the first
you'll be the last
  this song's for you...

you were the first
to catch my eye
to give my heart
reason to fly
the innocence
  won't say goodbye... won't even try...
you'll be the first
until I die

you were the first
to open me
to raise my flag
to help me see
experience
  identity... a love so free...
you'll be the first
eternally

you were the first
to hold me near
to show me how
to conquer fear
in your presense
  I disappear... and reappear...
you'll be the first
to know I'm here

you were the first
to take me in
to show me how
life can begin
in the essense
  beyond all sin... there is no sin...
you'll be the first
you'll always win

you were the first
to reach beyond
where reason ends
words can't respond
and so intense
  became our bond... en tout le monde...
you'll be the first
across the pond

and each of you
a different one
and this moment
has just begun
and there'll be more
  each one a first... and unrehearsed...
for all I know
is endless thirst

and each of us
so much the same
indentity
is such a game
who dares to know
  infinity... who dares to see...
that I am you
and you are me

you were the first
to ring this bell
to understand
heaven and hell
illusions all
  this life can be... know you are free...
create just what
you want to see

and be the first
to sing your song
to leave behind
past right or wrong
to reach beyond
  identity... to symmetry...
and embrace all
that you can be

to reach beyond
all blame or shame
to reach beyond
the simple game
to see we all
  are just the same... no wild no tame...
within the soul
beyond the name
  one of the whole...
  one of the whole...
  one of the whole...


you were the first
you'll be the last
all time is now
the future's past
embrace it all
share all you see
  and reach beyond... and be beyond...
where you and me
know we're the same
eternally

you were the first
you know it's true
you'll be the last
when time is through
and you know what
  you have to do... we have to do...
share all you are
in all you do

you were the first
you'll be the last
  this song's for you...
  this song's for you...
  this song's for you...



This Song's For You
