Wading through a ruthless wasteland  
Stealing glimpses at the light  
Who ever thought we’d be walking without you?  
You were the glue that kept us all so tight
 
Darkness wants to last forever  
All that’s good just seems to pass  
The insight you had that you gave to us freely  
You made our view grow brighter and clearer  
Bypassing through your glass
 
And now that we are on our own  
The rain has gotten wetter  
All the clouds are more dark  
But we will make these things better
 
Your keen eyes for observation  
Peering out for duty’s need  
I had been blessed when they settled upon me  
Flawed and foolish, it was all agreed
 
As time went on we grew closer  
Little secrets get revealed  
And all together we could work magic  
You helped me to understand the need  
Your strength, our shield
 
And now that we are on our own  
The rain has gotten wetter  
All the clouds are more dark  
But we will make these things better
 
One less soul who knows our secrets  
Another spirit roaming free  
For sure I know we’ll take heed of the whispers  
Left in our ears like shadows that could be
 
We have dreams and inner demons  
We push on through our regret  
We’re thinking about all the joy at our victories  
Even while sadness snares us in its net
 
So I know that we’ll remember  
Even if we need you now  
It’s easy to start, but it’s so hard to finish  
Living without you there’s less to hold on to  
It’s so much harder now
 
And now that we are on our own  
The rain has gotten wetter  
All the clouds are more dark  
But we will make these things better
 
And now that we are on our own  
The road has gotten longer  
With every step we take  
We are growing ever stronger!
