| 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 | |
