 Guiding her into dream time
 Following lights in her eyes
 This living behind's got her frightened
 So I'm here and I'm working all night
 
 How is she not breaking down?
 Oh God I feel her shaking
 Try as I might to provide her light
 In the end it's she who's breaking
 
 I'm holding the choice as she grows life from it's stem
 Is it better to say not now when I'm trying learn: yes?
 Cos I'm dreaming of bouncing feet and your motherly smile
 But when you're sleeping so far away I can't feel what's inside
 
 How am I still holding on?
 Oh God I hope I am holding
 She'll try and describe what my strength provides but I fear my strength is failing
 
 If I could change my mind
 I would change
 
 What's the change for the better
 For a child who learns not to cry?
 And to the boy who relies on his anger:
 You'll survive but you won't feel exchange
 
 And why all these doubts?
 And what are all these doubts?
 I see in her eyes that I'm holding her fine but all I'm hearing is doubts
 
 Even as water's crushing over my head
 And the rhythm that I would slow is picking up it's pace
 I'm learning from older shames as I'm watching them die
 And I'm still hoping to see her smile in the morning when we wake
 
 Now that I am waking up
 Oh God I hope I am waking
 Though I'm overwhelmed at times I find that I'm less afraid of change
 
 Change all the time
 
 I'm still finding what's sure
 And not getting lost in my mind
 I know I can try
 
 Needing my own
 But still
 Getting lost in her eyes
 And hoping it's time
 
 Wide eyed
 I get wide eyed 
Guiding her into dream time
Following lights in her eyes
This living behind' s got her frightened
So I' m here and I' m working all night
How is she not breaking down?
Oh God I feel her shaking
Try as I might to provide her light
In the end it' s she who' s breaking
I' m holding the choice as she grows life from it' s stem
Is it better to say not now when I' m trying learn: yes?
Cos I' m dreaming of bouncing feet and your motherly smile
But when you' re sleeping so far away I can' t feel what' s inside
How am I still holding on?
Oh God I hope I am holding
She' ll try and describe what my strength provides but I fear my strength is failing
If I could change my mind
I would change
What' s the change for the better
For a child who learns not to cry?
And to the boy who relies on his anger:
You' ll survive but you won' t feel exchange
And why all these doubts?
And what are all these doubts?
I see in her eyes that I' m holding her fine but all I' m hearing is doubts
Even as water' s crushing over my head
And the rhythm that I would slow is picking up it' s pace
I' m learning from older shames as I' m watching them die
And I' m still hoping to see her smile in the morning when we wake
Now that I am waking up
Oh God I hope I am waking
Though I' m overwhelmed at times I find that I' m less afraid of change
Change all the time
I' m still finding what' s sure
And not getting lost in my mind
I know I can try
Needing my own
But still
Getting lost in her eyes
And hoping it' s time
Wide eyed
I get wide eyed
Guiding her into dream time
Following lights in her eyes
This living behind' s got her frightened
So I' m here and I' m working all night
How is she not breaking down?
Oh God I feel her shaking
Try as I might to provide her light
In the end it' s she who' s breaking
I' m holding the choice as she grows life from it' s stem
Is it better to say not now when I' m trying learn: yes?
Cos I' m dreaming of bouncing feet and your motherly smile
But when you' re sleeping so far away I can' t feel what' s inside
How am I still holding on?
Oh God I hope I am holding
She' ll try and describe what my strength provides but I fear my strength is failing
If I could change my mind
I would change
What' s the change for the better
For a child who learns not to cry?
And to the boy who relies on his anger:
You' ll survive but you won' t feel exchange
And why all these doubts?
And what are all these doubts?
I see in her eyes that I' m holding her fine but all I' m hearing is doubts
Even as water' s crushing over my head
And the rhythm that I would slow is picking up it' s pace
I' m learning from older shames as I' m watching them die
And I' m still hoping to see her smile in the morning when we wake
Now that I am waking up
Oh God I hope I am waking
Though I' m overwhelmed at times I find that I' m less afraid of change
Change all the time
I' m still finding what' s sure
And not getting lost in my mind
I know I can try
Needing my own
But still
Getting lost in her eyes
And hoping it' s time
Wide eyed
I get wide eyed
