about

Joel and Amalia are reunited in dreams and they leave behind a child and a story, a legend of true love...

lyrics

It's hard to be so in love
Afraid it may all just melt away

In an age of doubt and mistrust
how do we ever be a true lover

aren't we all scared to fall
what if they drop us even harder

How do we break down these walls
and let someone fully in
the places we've worked so hard
to keep covered?

But those heroes do come
to brave those treacherous defenses
and tear through every flaw
to uncover our true selves
that they so long to know

and through their battle
they lost all their armor
and they stand at our gates
completely bare.

They too have shed their barriers
and are now ready to come in~
Just as weary and slow to take charge.

They've both been fooled before
and there's no way to settle the score

They both hope for the best
and accept they both wanted the Quest

It certainly was easier
to just stay away
but now they've come face to face

Can this be true~
they've entered a vacuum
where time stands still
and nothing else matters
but the time spent together?

Can this state protect them from harm~
showing them it's okay to stay unarmed?

They want to trust
and believe in true love
but it's more challenging
than any other battle
and they're still afraid the other
might use them for collateral.

But how could they not go all the way~
they fought so hard
to just turn and walk away

So here they are now
on the brink of defeat~
this is no time to get cold feet.

How will they last both so afraid
that this too will pass

But they decide to stand strong
and hope to live long
so they can be the example
that standing together
against all odds
united as one
they will never succumb
to the idea of defeat
and the doubt we all want to preach

These two are the pillars~
the foundation of change~
proving that true love isn't that strange.

It took hard work
to chip away the clay
but out of the dust
came the pillars of trust.

These two will love as never before
and stand tall in the center of it all
as a living tribute to the battle won
That Love will prevail
despite our own feelings of despair

Break open your cages
and let yourself be free
You will not fall
and they will not drop you

You will soar on the breeze
and your minds can be at ease
This is the hour of Love~
we've sent the peaceful dove
The war can end
and our hearts can ascend
to this blissful place
where we can all show our true face
and live in love
'til the end of time~
where the words no longer
have a need for rhyme

It's not a fairy tale~
told to show how we all have failed

This is the true life
and it's all within our right
to find our true mate~
and not just some stalemate

And through our commitment
we'll rebuild a city
that's not covered in steel
so nothing can be revealed.
It'll be an open place
where each lover can find an open space
to plant her roots
and entwine with another
to grow a tree of unending fruits
that will live on in peace
and there we can all just simply be.
