Startled Dreams

So many times we've seen the look
That defines just who we are
Arriving in startled dreams, like chapters from a book
Wakening hidden feelings, between the twilight of the stars

A gathering of forgotten memories to calm a restless heart
Complications of strife we'll carry to our graves
Hoping before life ends the hurt we caused departs
That's the way it is on a road which has been paved

By many tears shed from those who lead the way
For life is never easy it comes with many perils
The road to eternity has a price for those who have a say
It sings of songs for forgiveness by Angels in their carols

The cost for entering the gates of forever
Simpler then you'll think to imagine
Just believe in the Father and the Son, the bearer
Of the Holy Spirit who'll cleanse our souls of sin
