It's Not For Us To Say ...

It's not for me to say what would have been 

In the land of what might not ever be

In the time we take to make mistakes

We lose the time we need to truly see

It's not for you to say who I should be

In the land of what you choose to see

In the air you breathe you speak your words

You lose yourself in the lies you decree

It's not for me to say how you should feel

In the land of what you call your heart

In the life you live you lead me away

I lose myself as you and I we come apart

It's not for you to say the direction I will take

In the land of what becomes our fate

In the place of time and time is turning

We lose all sense of who we create

It's not for me to say that time will burn away

In the land of what belongs to madness

In the wind we carry our missing chances

We lose our burning love consumed by sadness

It's not for you to say that we have lost it all

In the land of what can find the light

In the pages not yet written

We lose our cause and quit the fight

It's not for me to say we will never be again

In the land of broken dreams in space

In the light refracting everywhere

I lose my mind but I can see your face

It's not for you to say my heart will never open

In the land of walls and words unspoken

In the time that got away 

You lose the words you have never spoken

It's not for me to say I will never love again

In the land of what has just begun

In the life we have been given

I lose my pain and shines the sun

It's not for you to say the dawn is finished breaking

In the land of time and time still turning

In the age where time is just beginning

You lose all hope and never again will you be returning

It's not for us to say which way our lives will go

In the land of which is which and we are we

In the direction we land is up to us

We lose the past and start a new eternity
