Alis Volat Propris

(Mclachlan)

What ravages of spirit
conjured this temptuous rage,
created you a monster,
broken by the rule of love?
And fate has led you through it.
You do what you have to do.
And fate has led you through it.
You do what you have to do.

And I have the sense to recognize
that I don't know how to let you go.

Every moment marked
with apparitions of your soul.
I'm ever swiftly moving,
trying to escape this desire,
the yearning to be near you.
I do what I have to do.
The yearning to be near you.
I do what I have to do.

And I have the sense to recognize
that I don't know how to let you go.
I don't know how to let you go.

A glowing ember, burning hot,
And burning slow.
Deep within, I'm shaken by the violence
of existing for only you.

I know I can't be with you.
I do what I have to do.
I know I can't be with you.
I do what I have to do.

And I have the sense to recognize
But I don't know how to let you go.
I don't know how to let you go.

I woke up this morning
I fell asleep last night
There is so much left
In this world I have yet to find
I dry my tears with the sun
It has all happened so quickly
He'll have been ten on the 31st
I'll have been in love by yesterday
But there is thunder and lightning
In the sun's rays
I keep repeating over and over
Everything will be okay
I believe it
These are rough, brutal times
But that's how people are formed
That's how I'll be better
At the end of it all
(And it will end)
That's life

So until then - I will sit in the sun
Sit in the rain and darkness
I will walk tall, let myself fall
Pick myself up and smile when I can
I'll cry and laugh and do all I can
Do it with all my might
I'll never lose my fight
Because love is my right
