Relate

When all the love

Has turned to hate

How can we relate

When all the things we say

Are heard another way?



When all the trust

Has turned to doubt

Who will hear it out

And strive to take the time

See what it's all about?



How can we relate?

Love has turned to hate



If all the light

Will burn and fade

What will separate

The day from night?

Or is it shades of gray?



When bridges broken

Wash away

Is there any hope

That there will be a link?

A way to clemency?



How can we relate?

Bridges wash away



How can we relate?



When all our songs

Are tools of jade

How can we convey

The things we need to share?

Is there a better way?



When falling short

Our dreams retire

Mired and smothering

In self-beguile and shame

How can we make the scene?



How can we relate?

Is there hope in fate?



How can we relate?
