Strange Familiar - Monica Richards

No one knows who we really are

They just expect our strength to go on forever

Does that sound familiar?

So we keep forcing our lives along

The pain might be numb enough

To get through another year

Does that sound familiar?

You were out there somewhere

The only one that knew me so well before

Would you remember?

There were shadows hanging over you

And they tore your fragile heart in two

And the light behind your eyes was going, too

You were out there somewhere

Waiting for a door to open

And bring you home

Does that sound familiar?

You were always in my heart

And every year went by

I wondered where you were

Would you remember?

There were shadows hanging over you

And the loneliness engulfing you

And it kills me what they’ve done to you

Beating at my heart

The War of Wings and Waiting

Backwards down my path

To find the right beginning

Two arms open wide

One smile was always facing

Towards the Universe

Could be we weren’t just dreaming

The golden moment now recognized

To find where we always belonged was together

I’m your Familiar

Why did it take us half our lives

To find where we always belonged was together

I’m your Familiar
