Domonic This wonder, this windin you know, always is profetic, changing, You are here to tear down thunder and make skies clean for another day, which is your young life, one day at a time, like few of us who can see but not feel your patience, your courage, after all You don't need think avout me, cause I'll be there just the same, around the alley or across the palains, on th dock or across the wild seas; The mountains the valleys, jack is there as you will be as I say we both have been there before. Silence in the stars, silence beneath the sea; Walking the earth I suppose this is better to be. When you twist at the sight of t4ouble I stand there not for guideancebut the prencence of being there, the old guy,, the one who looks

Domonic, second pass. This wonder, this wind in you knows, always prophetic, never changing. You are here to tear down thunder and make skies clean for another day, one day at a time. Few can see but not feel your patience and courage. Jack is there as you will be — silence in the stars, silence beneath the sea. The old guy, the one who looks.
