Like the sphinx knows silence
And the pyramids know time
Like sisyphus knew regret
As he thought about his crime
As julius knew betrayal
As judas knew the kiss
And david with his nervous hand
Knew when not to miss
And helen in her blindness
Knew better how to touch
And lincoln in his wisdom
Knew the angels in each of us
Like the delphi knew tomorrow
Like crocodiles know the nile
Like michelangelo knew stone
A mother knows her baby's smile
Then she placed her hands upon his lips
In something akin to a kiss
And in her arms he stayed asleep
As the night grew dark and the child dreamt deep

And so it's here our story ends
Exactly where it did start
In that labyrinth of mystery
We call the human heart
For they say that without it
No one can truly live
And it also has been rumored
That without it, we cannot forgive
