"Reluctant Hero" lyrics

"Reluctant Hero"

You've returned to me as a shadow
You've come back
To fill the empty canyon of my loss
This is not real
I refuse to feel you're in a better place
And now I know
The pain of never reaching for your face
We tear in two
We tear in two

I would welcome you back in my dreams
Take me
Where the pain will pass and beauty remains
Until then
I touched your hand for remembrance
Hoping we can
Turn the darkest mourning into thanks
We tear in two
We tear in two

I beg the road to rise and meet you
May the wind be at your back
May the wind be at your back
And the sunshine warm on your face my friend
Until we meet again
Until we meet again

And you've returned to me as a shadow
Come back
To fill the empty canyon of my loss
This is not real
And I refuse to feel you're in a better place
And now I know
The pain of never reaching for your face

The pain of never reaching for your face
The pain of never reaching for your face
The pain of never reaching for your face
The pain of never reaching for your face
