Eurydice's Daughter
(Dedicated to Lacey Mosley, lead singer of FlyLeaf)
I'm trying hard to think
if I can put into words
how I feel right now
after hearing what I heard
Tonight you sang to me
like no one has before
I was so blown away
and so hungry for more
It took nothing at all
You had me from the start
as you parted your lips
and sang from you heart
Every word of every line
carried so much emotion
showing your love, you hate
your ambition and devotion
I watched your memories and dreams
and I could feel every single scar
As you sang, I saw everything
that makes you who you are
Your fears, struggles, and grief
Your trust, faith, and choice
All this and more, at once
bled out through your voice
It's such a precious gift
for you to sing the way you do
It's like nothing I've heard before
It's so pure, honest, and true
Sing again to me who you are inside
Sing me your pains and sorrow
Sing all that you have to give
Sing like there's no tomorrow
I pray for one more song
because it's such a beautiful thing
to witness everything you express
every time you choose to sing
I know now I'm lucky and privaleged
to have seen this amazing sight
because never have I seen a person's soul
not until you, sang to me tonight
