AMY'S GARDENS


life changes to fill the emptiness
sometimes it brings magical happiness
sometimes it brings medieval sadness
and sometimes is just brings loneliness

but it is what we bring that matters
what we make of what we find inside
there are many reasons to give up on your dreams
but only one is needed to decide
have you told the truth or have you lied

it's not time for profound words
it's time to fly with the birds
it's not time to call upon the knife
to cut through the meaning of life

it's not time for the lemon tree
it's time for the honesty
but how we avoid the memory
of one great childhood fantasy
leaving an empty space where love should be
in today's reality

so through all the changes I reach out again
trying to remember how to be a true friend
from computer and printer back to paper and pen
the river of words flows without an end
to tell you that I'll always be your friend

this is what I bring to you today
seeds that I have nurtured deep inside
I've never found reason to give up on my dreams
and I stand here without fear or false pride
and say in all this time I have not lied

it is time for simple things
this song plays on my heart strings
and I do believe that it is time
to come back and complete this rhyme

it is time to make the lemonade
it is time the piper was paid
to stop avoiding memory
and the great childhood fantasy
to put love back where it should be
in today's reality

so through all the changes I reach out again
trying to remember how to be a true friend
from computer and printer back to paper and pen
the river of words flows without an end
to tell you that I'll always be your friend
