and this is my purpose

Was there ever a place I felt so at home as in her arms?

and this is my purpose

there is a dream
that I would share
if given the chance
in answer to prayer
I spoke long ago
in a grim, fading light
to see one last love
to win one last fight

epic equations
balanced the game
kisses for karma
summoned a name
memory won't fail
but still can be surpassed
by greater emotions
when the die is cast

so here I am found
in a place I'd not dreamt
in a grace I'd not earned
and a fate now unbent
your kisses console me
your darkness I bear
as a touch of an angel
to dispel a nightmare

and this is my purpose
and this is my path
to discover the angel
that saved me from wrath
for all of my failings
and the wasting of years
that are washed away gentle
by your love's baptist tears
