Pilot of the Storm

It beats upon my face like rain in the desert sand

The world is in a different shine

And my usual preferences do not rhyme

And this magic light I have seldom seen

Like a hidden treasure in a dream

I know that I am a stranger too

In this Shangri-la I reach for

You and all that you do

In starlit skies I ride with angels

You make it come true

Even though my bones are dry and torn

My pilot of the storm

Across the sea of years

Under blood red skies

We ride on the trail of tears

And this magic light I have seldom seen

Like a hidden treasure in a dream

I know that I am a stranger too

In this Shangri-la I reach for

You and all that you do

In starlit skies I ride with angels

You make it come true

Even though my bones are dry and

A bad moon rose when I was born

Now it's time to lose my crown of thorns

My pilot of the storm

If I summon all what I have learned

I sit and watch the pages burn

I know that I am a stranger too

In this Shangri-La I reach for

You and all that you do

In starlit skies I ride with angels

You make it come true

Even though my bones are dry and torn

My pilot of the storm
