Kansas – Journey from Mariabronn

(Kerry Livgren/Steve Walsh)

Two began together, lived as one

Each one to the other had become

More than a friend, living to meet a common end

They were true, each one knew all is well

Still the elder knew it could not last

Hidden memories from the young one’s past

Drew them apart

Both knew that deep within his heart they must part

Each their own seperate way

It puzzles me how we can be so close and yet worlds apart

Can it be, my memory has torn my life in two

>From the very start

I screamed for the devil to let me be

I called to the heavens to set me free

Today I prayed for the answer and not one

Of the gods in the sky would rescue me

Dreams of fortune fill the young one’s mind

Learn the worldy ways of hope to find

Love on the way, searching to find the light of day

In his soul he had found his own way

But to each other they soon will return

Destiny fulfilled, their words will burn an eternal flame
