Ivory Tower

Treehouse

Ivory Tower


Mother hold me. I think I need to cry 
Father help me. I have to get things right 
Sorry son, sorry honey. Ain't got time to worry 
Was afraid of these answers. I fell into a stare 
Today I'm standing at the house where I grew up 
Mother's dead. Father too 
The fear is still here 
And I look up the tree in front of me 
Watching the treehouse father built for me 
I'm climbing in 
The fear just flies away 
All my senses obey 
Lovely creatures guide my way 
They teach me how to cry 
How to get all things right 
How you learn to love the night 

I wonder how it comes. Is this my second chance 
Tell me am I dreaming or lost inside time 
I pass the parts of life. It really cuts me like knife 
I see my life in ruins. The world around me turms 
Surrounded by angels I reach a special point 
Above me my parents I look at with delight 
Suddenly I see so clear 
Hate just turns to understanding 
Sweat on my skin as I awake from my dream 
Throught the dust I see the treehouse 
And memories are coming back again 

Now I stand here at their grave. I'm crying 
I've learned to forgive and to love 
I'm watching sunset's beautiful horizon 
The evil's lost the good has won tonight 
Seasons change and tides have turned 
No one can deny his own changes 
When I'm down I know a place 
To wash away the sins I've perpetrated 

I've learned to forgive and to love
