Here is where the road divides
Here is where we realize
The sculpting of the Father's great design
I could feel him as soon as my feet touched the ground. I knew he was here. As I crossed the threshold into his makeshift office, I trembled. He looks completely terrified but he's hiding it so well. Poor Gaius, I've asked so much of him. And what surprises me is that he gave it, everything I ever asked for he gave. I want to reach out and stroke his face, reassure him that this is the plan. But he wouldn't understand, for all his intelligence, he just can't comprehend God's plan.
Thru' time you've been a friend to me
But time is now the enemy
I wish we didn't have to say goodbye
Our time together was so short. There was so much we never got to do together. I really did want to go to a pyramid game with him. Sit in the sun, drink a beer, cheer for the players. If I had only known, but only God is omniscient.
But I know the road
He chose for me
Is not the road he chose for you
So as we chase
the dreams we're after
He'll never understand why this must be done. Why this is the best way. He is only human, I can only expect so much. He will rail and cry against it but it will still happen. It is the plan and no hand of man can stop it. I doubt he will make it through to the end. It would be nice though, to have him there with me when it is all finished.
Pray for me and I'll pray for you
Pray that we will keep the common ground
Won't you pray for me and I'll pray for you
And one day love will bring us back around again
He does not understand how to pray, the power of it, the unity it achieves. Gaius was never one to pray to the gods anyway. He probably doesn't know how to pray. I would like to teach him, show him how God always listens. But he wouldn't understand why God would not answer his prayers.
Painted on our tapestry
We see the way it has to be
Weaving thru' the laughter and the tears
We've experienced so much together, me and Gaius. We have loved each other, hurt each other, laughed with each other. I'm glad I was able to keep those memories. They are precious to me. One day, Gaius will not be here but I will still remember our time together.
But love will be the tie that binds us
To the time we leave behind us
Memories will be our souvenirs
And I know that thru' it all
The hardest part of love is letting go
But there's a greater love that holds us
One day, one day we will be together forever and nothing will separate us. We will be as one, no ending, no beginning. The same, complete, equals. I know that is the plan, the way but it is a long time until that day. There is much yet to be done.
Pray for me and I'll pray for you
Pray that we will keep the common ground
Won't you pray for me and I'll pray for you
And one day love will bring us back around again
He stands there in front of me, so close I can almost touch him. He is every inch the president. Gaius the scientist, the genius, the perfect man. And yet I hold his heart in my hand. I always have. Sometimes he knew it, sometimes he didn't know that his precious life lay in the palm of my hands. It would be so easy to spare him. So easy to close my hand and end it all. But that is not God's plan. So I will pray, pray that day, the one day when all is made right.
