Ghost Of Every Soul

Ghost Of Every Soul

Though I walk alone in the city maze 
I hear people sing of love in their dreams. 
Since I stand on bridge of forgetfulness 
I remember song of the mountain streams. 
Yet ghost of every soul who ever lives 
asks me to record their forgotten names. 

Though I wander nowhere on fenceless plains 
I find secret home where my family dwells. 
Since I hesitate in the open door 
I hear children shout by brimming wells. 
Yet ghost of every soul who long since died 
vanishes at sorrowful ring of bells. 

Though I climb the highest mountain of hope 
I can only see shadow of the Earth. 
Since I drink from the waterfall of faith 
I wonder at the secret of rebirth. 
Yet ghost of every soul who calls my name 
calculates how much loyal love is worth. 

Though I linger on shore of the strange sea 
I sigh with secret glowing of the moon. 
Since I forget why I am still alive 
I ache for love that proves I am immune. 
Yet ghost of every soul who steals the light 
returns to first home by the humming stone.
