Disappeared - John Wesley, J. Robert, Mark Prator

There was a time

That you were so bright, and so strong

There was nothing that you feared

Nothing you could do wrong

Dreams glowed in the sun

Your world was alive

So full of life, hard and wild

You were the golden child

Head-long into the withering fire

Of a life in a dark space

Your conscience, became misplaced

Smoke that would not clear

No kind words offered to your ears

Shot down in a steep climb

You disappear in a haze of smoke and wine

Well I’m waiting and I wonder

Where’ve you gone why are you not here

We’re waiting and we wonder

Where someone goes when they’ve been disappeared

Seperation of your thoughts

Words that no longer rhyme

Days spent in your room

Spinning webs with the threads left of your mind

Dreams you no longer face

Hidden away in some far place

A shame of a kind that does not erase

Hold onto your pillow and drop out of the race

Head-long into the withering fire

Blindfolded, stumbling across a tightwire

Shot down in a steep climb

You disappeared in a haze of smoke and wine

Well I’m waiting and I wonder

Where’ve you gone, and why are you not here

We’re waiting and we wonder

Where a soul goes when it’s been disappeared

I see you and I speak tyo you

There ain’t nothing in your eyes but the glow of fear

I beg you to tell me

Why have you been disappeared

The struggle of these last years

Brought me to this place

Where I hold my beautiful wife

My beautiful child

I reach and touch her face

All the hurt of my lost years

The uncertainty, all the fears

The losses, regrets and the tears

Have in time been disappeared

Have with time been disappeared

They will with time
