Lena

Lena
by Jesse Daniel Edwards
ASCAP

when it comes to fate
we are the authors
we must be braver
than our fathers
I know it's hard sometimes to back down
from the futures we create
and there is a high road and a low
which one you are on
only you may know
I have to believe every mistake and missed opportunity
could bring me back to you someday

every circle is a straight line
that bends before it breaks
and my heart is a coal mine
you won't find diamonds right away
shadows cast in the moonlight
are invisible by day
Lena,
I'm not going anywhere
is what I'm trying to say

we will never be farther
from our past than we already are
it is a beautiful illusion
that we have moments at all
every ship in the harbor
is waiting on the tides to embark
the same trick of gravity
holds you to me
and I think that's why we fall
