lyrics

Keeper is the heart that guides us in life
Weaving through the dark, invisible to the light

–Oh velvet chambers
–Oh river inside

You hold the names of the stars
You tame the snakes of time

–For the fragile boat of the mind

Which we ride, ride, ride
Ride, ride, ride

Keeper is the heart that we hold inside
Asail in storms of darkness
In seas of love divine

–Release these billowed sails
–And in peace you will ride

Ride, ride, ride
