Lyrics: A hand to aid along the road A laugh to lighten any load A place to bring a burdened heart And heal the ache of sorrow's dart Who'd willing share in joy or tears And help to ease the darkest fears Or my soul like his own defend And all because he was my friend No grave could hold so free a soul I see him in the frisking foal I hear him laughing on the breeze That stirs the very tops of trees He soars with falcons on the wing He hears the song that night birds sing Death never dared him captive keep He lies not there, he does not sleep But there is silence at my side That haunts the place he used to ride And my Companion can't belay The loss that I sustained this day How bleak the future now has grown Since I must face it all alone My road is weary, dark and steep And it is for myself I weep
Aw poor Dirk, they were such great friends. This song really fits him well and it's so depressing. It's probably one of my favorite songs out of both albums. RIP Kris, I loved you...
Okay, let's be honest here, Dirk is the best singer out of the whole cast, except for maybe Selenay. His voice is just so godsdamn perfect! I can't get enough of this song, it's so beautiful. It really makes Kris' death more depressing, and I didn't even think that was possible.
Is this song for when Kris dies or Herald's in general? I love those books and constantly reading them, they never get old. I always find things I didn't notice before.
Lyrics:
A hand to aid along the road
A laugh to lighten any load
A place to bring a burdened heart
And heal the ache of sorrow's dart
Who'd willing share in joy or tears
And help to ease the darkest fears
Or my soul like his own defend
And all because he was my friend
No grave could hold so free a soul
I see him in the frisking foal
I hear him laughing on the breeze
That stirs the very tops of trees
He soars with falcons on the wing
He hears the song that night birds sing
Death never dared him captive keep
He lies not there, he does not sleep
But there is silence at my side
That haunts the place he used to ride
And my Companion can't belay
The loss that I sustained this day
How bleak the future now has grown
Since I must face it all alone
My road is weary, dark and steep
And it is for myself I weep
I think it is "allay" instead of "belay" in the fifth verse. Thank you so much for posting the lyrics!
I just found out that my best pal for the last 26 years died. This song sums up my feelings better than I'm able to.

Dan and Wendy, your loss is greatly felt by all whose lives you both have touched. Until we meet again in the Summerland.
You really feel the grief in this song...
In Memorial of Kris. All honer to you Kris.
Kris was such a good Herald, he didn't deserve to die that way.
My dad (and best friend) died a few months ago, this sums up my feelings 100%
Okay, let's be honest here, Dirk is the best singer out of the whole cast, except for maybe Selenay. His voice is just so godsdamn perfect! I can't get enough of this song, it's so beautiful. It really makes Kris' death more depressing, and I didn't even think that was possible.
No, I think Selenay and Dirk are the best singer.
@@derantiker8411 ...did you not read the original comment?
Wait wasn't Selenay sung by Misty?
Jharden, this is Dirk singing about the loss of Kris.
Is it just me, or does the music at the beginning sound like the start of "Her Father's Eyes" from the same album?
Is this song for when Kris dies or Herald's in general? I love those books and constantly reading them, they never get old. I always find things I didn't notice before.
It's about Kris
I assume Larry Warner is the vocalist on this one?
my mom sang this to me when i was a little kid
The worst part is talia is as good as dead to dirk right now too
