August 5th, a miracle happened again
Pete Burns was born in 1959, and he left a legacy to the world when he died too young
And now you protect his legacy
I would marry James when Pete was only thirty-six years old, in 1995
We did not know this serendipity at the time when we said “I do,” forever until death do us part
I held him while I heard his last heartbeat, leaving me cut in half and so lost with no purpose
I am now a widower, and you have a broken heart due to years of abuse
***
Today, James and Pete are in heaven trying to set us both free!
Open your heart and make a new start as your crumbling world falls apart
Today you are in the hospital after escaping by train for eight hours to save yourself
The abandonment and the abuse are deadly now!
Stay away, we say!
You felt the freedom!
Fly free bird, fly!
***
You know you are loved now
You know you deserve to be loved now
I am in your heart with Pete
And today this damn ocean divides us still
From heaven, my husband showed me today he loved me again
He wants better for you and me
I feel it and found a way!
***
I see your angel wings
Pete saw your angel wings first
You know, it takes an angel to see an angel
So much sorrow that can not be hidden now
We know everything about each other now
This world has tried to destroy us both now
I will show you something good now
When you open your mind, you’ll discover the sign that there is something you are longing to find
The miracle of love
Will take away our pain
Open your heart
and make a new start
as your world is crumbling apart
***
The miracle of love has come your way again
It will take away your pain
In this heartless world
I will wipe away your tears
I promise you, my sacred friend
You will never be alone again
Let me show you something good
Let me love you as your world falls apart
***
I am here – you said to me as tears fell down my face
It is my turn
I am here – for you now; take my hand,
let me hold you until our last breath
My house is your house
Now let the miracle of love happen
Open your heart
And make a new start!
It is not too late while there is still life
Fly, they say!
FREE BIRD, FLY!
into my arms
where you will allow
the miracle of love
