One Last Stand

By Bart Lee

I wrote your name in the stars,

Carved a heart for us in the sand,

Said a prayer to the dancing moon,

Promised to make one last stand.

I had faith that destiny would find us,

After loneliness had come and gone,

We would wake up to hopeful trust,

Midnight's someday claim it's dawn,

I've kept this secret tucked away,

Wrapped in a whisper I've never heard,

Painted perfection over gray yesterday,

Admitted it only to one little, tell-all bird.

Now I'm so glad the news is out,

You have discovered what I hoped,

This midnight whisper can finally shout,

Our someday suspicions finally know.

See, I wrote your name in the stars,

Carved a heart for us in the sand,

Said a prayer to the dancing moon,

Promised to make one last stand.
