Chain Song Version
2006-01-01

As the silver moon rises,
growing taller over,
the sullen trees that have,
grown in the fields that,
once were.

Where a weary
traveler arrives at a place
that he now can call his home.

Chorus:
(We are lost to the world,
forever gone in ourselves,
where is the light,
that shines in the darkness,
that one light,
that pulls us out of the depths,
the depths of despair)

Yet, there is still,
trouble in his heart,
fears that he hides,
and wishes not to face,

and as the moon grows,
ever higher in the mystic sky,
he grows tired.

Chorus:
(We are lost to the world,
forever gone in ourselves,
where is the light,
that shines in the darkness,
that one light,
that pulls us out of the depths,
the depths of despair)


more feelings emerge,
from within the torrent,

that brews inside his mind.
He knows what he must face,
who he must confront,
but can he do this,

can he make peace with,
the one inside himself.

Chorus:
(We are lost to the world,
forever gone in ourselves,
where is the light,
that shines in the darkness,
that one light,
that pulls us out of the depths,
the depths of despair)

We have reached the end,
the end of this road,
and yet, the moon hangs,
and the fields are gone.
A chain pulls us up,
and into this world of,
change.

Chorus:
(We are lost to the world,
forever gone in ourselves,
where is the light,
that shines in the darkness,
that one light,
that pulls us out of the depths,
the depths of despair)


The moon shines bright on this cold night,
a night that shall go down in memory,
into a place that changes,
that heart of this weary traveler,
who is yet still young,
but ever so lost as to where to go,
what to do,
what should happen,
A chain of things happen,
and the time still passes him by.

James O. Stewart
