I've seen horrors 
Waxwork and faded 
Lights in the morning 
Shadows in twilight 

I've seen horrors 
Felt pressure build 
Fit unto bursting 
Breathless and still

I've seen horrors 
In sad stricken eyes 
Filled with regret 
Guilt ripping inside 

I've seen beauty 
In the dancing leaves 
My own private whirlwind 
Dancing for me 

I've seen glory 
In you, my valiant friend 
Rejoice in your stories 
Good will I do send 

I've seen sadness 
Wholesome and true 
All parts of you matter 
Take strength in your truth 

I've seen phantoms 
Of what there once was 
But they cannot hurt you 
Let go and be done 

I've seen nothing 
And built on its shores 
My little sandcastles 
Of love, want and more 

I've seen beauty
In the dancing leaves 
My own private whirlwind 
Dancing for me 

I've seen glory 
In you, my valiant friend 
Rejoice in your stories 
Good will I do send
