Here I Stand

Vaughn Walker

There he is standing on the hill.

Uncertain if he's seen.

He can be a hero still.

But it seems too late. 

To fix what's broken.

If he can't escape what's still a dream. 

 

And nothing but a memory.

As the tears fall down.

You must always remember the love he gave.  

 

Time it seems.

The enemy of men. 

What you thought you had. 

Falls to ashes.
