|
We could pretend that we're walking on |
|
Petals and light, golden light |
|
Flaunting our love like a dance step mastered |
|
Turning from left to right |
|
But after all the colored lights are gone |
|
Time will leave the ashes and the dawn |
|
You rise and meet the day |
|
I'm watching you go, it's like spying on hope |
|
Ever onward with more to burn |
|
Giving your hands and your heart |
|
To the weave of the world, though it fights each turn |
|
But you do not give up so easily |
|
That's how |
|
I know you won't surrender me |
|
You rise and meet the day |
|
It's all I need, it's all |
|
I need to know, it's all |
|
I need to know |
|
And I love you all the time |
|
I had always feared that some |
|
Gloomy ingratitude would seize me |
|
But you have held the dream like every morning finds |
|
A way to hang the sun up in the sky |
|
And now I think |
|
I have it too |
|
The greatest part |
|
I learned from you |
|
You rise and meet the day |
|
And I can see kids, maybe yours, maybe not |
|
Oh, I can hear what they'll say |
|
Laughing at pictures with the old-fashioned hats |
|
And the clothes that we're wearing today |
|
And they will know the true and humble power |
|
Of love that made it through the darkest hour |
|
You rise and meet the day |
|
It's all I need, it's all |
|
I need to know, it's all |
|
I need to know |
