Alexandria

Let’s begin
Pick up your pen
We’ll write a story no one’s ever told
Only God could know what’s coming at the end
Turn the page
And come of age
Go boldly forth despite the awful fact that
Hurt exists in past- and present-tense
Alexandria could burn again
Won’t you walk with me? I need a friend
Hand-in-hand we go
We’ll write our story
Even if it takes a lifetime
That’s the life I wanna read
Sign and date
And illustrate
All the creases mark great memories
But the little stories in-between are more
Alexandria could burn again
Won’t you walk with me? I need a friend
Hand-in-hand we go
We’ll write our story
Even if it takes a lifetime
That’s the life I wanna read
When these flames overtake my body and my name
All I have will fade away but you remain with me
Oh, with me
Even if it takes a lifetime
That’s the life I wanna read
