	Story Behind the Song I wrote this song after watching a video of "Cocoon." Toward the end there is a scene between the old man and his wife. He had been a womanizer. He asked her to come live forever, with him. She said no and he said "I don't want to live forever without you" something about that line hit me and stayed with me for several weeks. The song takes a more spiritual turn. If there is a forever after this life it will be a hollow place without those we love. I also at the time was scouring an old hymnal for lyrics with interesting phrases. I kind of used them all in this song. See if you can pick them out. Lyrics forever without you stars shine in the darkness through pin holes of light sword cuts with sharpness embers ignite made strong in our weakness when love is the mark words offered in meekness find places in the heart i don't want to live without you i don't want to live forever i don't want to live without you i don't want to live forever without you uncertain of purpose we're just children of dust with no spiritual surplus in this crumbling bust echoed songs from the heavens as silent as light the truth seekers is given stars shine at night sing the song echoed through the ages pilgrims throung and thumb eternal pages blinded eyes the scales will fall away if i must go will you come with me on that day i don't want to live forever without you. copyright J.Stephen Smith
