A Thousand Paper Cranes

You hitchhiked out one day on the tracks of life
Left behind history, structure, belief
Found a camp with other stragglers
Backpacks and shoes and society's travelers
Lost in the wood, old growth in your eyes
Locked in the forest of your own truth and lies

Let me make you
A thousand paper cranes
Folded from the pages of my heart

Dreamer, a patchwork schemer
Waltzed through your childhood searching redeemers
Tried angels, book, candle, bell
Laughter and sadness and heaven and hell
Lost in the ruin, crumbling stone in your mind
Locked in the prison of your own bond and bind

Let me make you
A thousand paper cranes to find you where you are
A thousand paper cranes to keep you safe from harm
A thousand paper cranes to lend you wings to soar

Once I stepped off the walk
Wolves and bears, followed fisher and fox
In the gloom your spirit around me
Guided my feet, your arms enwound me
Reached the clearing you stayed behind - an angel
Lost in the dark, your own path to find

Let me make you
A thousand paper cranes to find you where you are
A thousand paper cranes to keep you safe from harm
A thousand paper cranes to shine a morning star
A thousand paper cranes folded from pages of my heart
A thousand paper cranes folded from pages of my heart
