Story Behind The Song

It's a song about love and unity. It's about the waiting and eventual realizing of that dream of finally being together.

Song Description

This song can be seen on two different levels, one as a couple of individuals, the smaller picture, and the second, on a universal level, as we're all bound to each other by life itself, the bigger picture.

Lyrics

Ties That Bind


Verse I
Sometimes the ties that bind
Can't be explained, neither can they break
Just stretched when one falls behind
The other stands and waits
And sometimes the ties that bind
Can't be explained, but with bated breath
Each misstep our lover takes, the patience of a saint

Chorus
There are ties that bind us, reach out without fear,
My outstretched hand
Won't let you go but instead pull you near
Cause Babe, our path's been cleared

Verse II
Heart strings like wings unseen, mine of leather
Yours are of feather down
Like a windblown wishing weed
Leaves her dandelion gown
And without a single sound
Our souls take flight, bound together tight
Though miles apart along the ground
In one, the other's found

Chorus
There are Ties That Bind us, Reach out without fear,
My outstretched hand
Won't let you go but instead pull you near
Cause Babe, our path's been cleared

Bridge
This is what we've waited for
Everything we've waited for

Chorus
There are Ties That Bind us, Reach out without fear,
My outstretched hand
Won't let you go but instead pull you near
Cause Babe, our path's been cleared
There are Ties That Bind us, Reach out without fear,
My outstretched hand
Won't let you go but instead pull you near
Cause Babe, our path's been cleared

Bridge
This is what we've waited for
Everything we've waited for
