Forward and Around

comfort me

comfort me tonight

repeat your sufferings over and over

like a secret in my ear

I can take your pain and carry it someplace strong

hold it there for you

until it dissolves into purpose

purpose to move on

foward

and around

like a slow moving music box 

that provides melody to the universe

and the tempo of my heartbeat

the song carries your purpose through my veins

in and out of the ventricles of my heart

to the very ends of my fingers and toes

each step

foward

and around

gravity pushing down

foward 

and around

with a music box sweet melody in my ear.
