Everything We Are

By Bruce Clifford

You took me by the heart

I never felt so strange

I'd rather be in the stars

Then lost here in this place

I can't make any sense of this go around

I can't pretend you're not in my heart

I can't escape the fears in front of me

I can't get away from everything we are

You took my soul many lifetimes ago

You took me by surprise

I never knew I could change 

Looking through your worried eyes

Nothing ever will be the same

I can't make any sense of this go around

I can't pretend you're not in my heart

I can't escape the fears in front of me

I can't get away from everything we are
