Clockwork
This broken clockwork
 
 spinning on and on.
 
 You're caught within.
 
 What is there to see beyond?
 
  
 
 Dear child, the light
 
 in your eyes
 
 is gone.
 
 The spinning clockwork
 
 keeps moving on.
 
  
 
 How can the world
 
 keep moving on
 
 now that your clockwork
 
 has stopped beating on?
 
  
 
 How could this life have been
 
 so tragically wronged?
 
 You are silent
 
 but we will continue our song.
 
  
 
 The love that you had
 
 within your heart
 
 is something with which
 
 we refuse to part.
 
  
 
 So keep this clockwork
 
 in your soul.
 
 the golden peace
 
 can fill the hole
 
  
 
 We feel with every single
 
 passing day.
 
 Until we see your face
 
 your heart, with us
 
 will stay.
