Continents of Time

theresa's eyes were like the sun
 to match her golden hair
 her cheeks flushed and her breath froze
 in the cold helsinki air
 our souls aren't always visible
 by the colors that we wear
 carla's eyes were like a night
 of mystery and ink
 she bore the scars of love
 beneath the cover of her drink
 little did she know
 of love's inseparable link
 and they'd never known each other
 their lives went separate ways
 born of different mothers
 several continents away
 but the moment that they crossed
 their souls would intertwine
 never to be broken
 over continents of time
 theresa knew her father
 as the man she never knew
 he left her to a music box
 on a dresser in her room
 she tried to reconcile
 his face with many rainy afternoons
 carla knew her father
 for all of seven years
 he left her and her mother
 one hot summer in tangiers
 and with it all a box
 that became music to her ears
 CHORUS
 carla and theresa
 would meet through circumstance
 bow is not important
 if by fate or if by chance
 but eyes met tears flowed
 and tumbled down like rain
 when they realized between these eyes
 they bore one fathers name
 CHORUS
