Veiled Elegance

I know you're sitting there thinking

Am I speaking of you, dreaming of you

Wondering where life lost its passion, wondering

How I've retained mine

But I am not a man of minor dreams

The keys I play will resonate eternally

The world I've tasted does not fade with the passing

Of days or dreams

Each moment renews, my determination to be

It is your beauty, your sweet taste

That has kept me fighting, kept me from lying

Down to sleep

And though so many come to fear fate

I come to set you free, I come to show you

That believing, paired with persistence, will reveal the way

I know you're sitting there thinking

Is it me, is this reality

I assure you, I have no less than the greatest

Of dreams, no less than the capability

To set your heart free

And perhaps you're considering, can this be real, to me

I am not a man without meaning, or the motivation

To catch you dreaming, and bring the subconscious

To the surface, I wear my checkered past with confidence

That where I have faltered before, I find strength

I wear my errors once, and slip through secret doors

To the heart, for the many times I've fallen

I have stayed true to my passion

I know you're sitting there thinking

And wishing you were feeling

I know that life has left you reeling

At the cost of the cards it's dealing

So I affirm for you one thing

I hold for you the keys

To the door that hides your dreams.
