To Say Goodbye, Part II: On Our Way - Ice Age

There was a time when we were younger

We were immortal & the world was wide

But thieving years have dulled my hunger

And I am lulled into the autumn — tide

Now gently silenced are these voices when I wake

Heaven’s angel smiling from the sky

She wipes away the tears that drowned my dearest dreams

Worthless words can never say goodbye

The shining gates were held wide open

Inviting you — the very next in line

But when those earthly bonds were broken

They stole away the only love of mine

Though the divine left us long ago

In the world of the base

This humble man remembers you

When the fever breaks & clearness comes to me

Her knowing hand will guide me through the fire

Hers is the lasting love that bears my dearest dreams

Faithless words can never say goodbye

Acts of wonder

Acts of love

Just keep hangin' on

On my way

We’re all on our way

Once in my life just give me the power to see

Into the heart of meaning & mystery

There’s no easy way

To say goodbye

We pour our lives into the fountain

And watch the oceans as they turn to black

It was my dream to move the mountain

And now I strain to lift my broken back

And though your light left us long ago

In the world of the blind

This one — eyed man will find you

Now gently silenced are these voices when I wake

Heaven’s angel smiling from the sky

She wipes away the tears that drowned my dearest dreams

These worthless words could never say goodbye

Goodbye

Acts of wonder

Acts of love

Just keep hangin' on

On my way

We’re all on our way

On our way

We’re all on our way
