River of Sorrows, Mile of Pain

There never was a love so true

though time would not allow it

to grow despite the odds and fate;

still their passion did not quit.

A river of sorrows, a mile of pain,

their crossroads made them one.

Misguided, chained and longing for

the freedom to become.

Choices made them who they are

yet chance tried to bring change.

It's never easy to break away

but stay put in one place.

Is being content worth more than love?

Is true love worth fighting for?

A river of sorrows, a mile of pain,

a star to wish for more.

There never was a love so true

no hearts a stronger beat.

Though time has won its battle,

odds' war they can defeat.
