I used to watch you sleeping And I'd wonder what you'd be A beauty like your mother Or maybe more like me A dreamer who can't find the sense To come out of the rain Same blood, different vein... Relentless contradictions Are never far behind A gift you never asked for From some forgotten time A legacy of wonder, Of sorrow, joy and pain Same blood, different vein... May you all remain in the light May you find some peace tonight May you always rise above And hold on to the ones you love And until the end of time I am yours and you are mine Same blood, different vein... So take what you have gathered And reap what you have sown Along your winding journey And pay back what you owe And watch them as you realize It all comes round again Same blood, different vein... May you all remain in the light May you find some peace tonight May you always rise above And hold on to the ones you love And until the end of time I am yours and you are mine Same blood, different vein...
