[00:00.00]	Guiding her into dream time
[00:31.56]	Following lights in her eyes
[00:36.84]	This living behind's got her frightened
[00:41.85]	So I'm here and I'm working all night
[00:50.46]	How is she not breaking down?
[00:52.95]	Oh God I feel her shaking
[00:59.94]	Try as I might to provide her light
[01:02.43]	In the end it's she who's breaking
[01:09.21]	I'm holding the choice as she grows life from it's stem
[01:17.43]	Is it better to say not now when I'm trying learn: yes?
[01:25.32]	Cos I'm dreaming of bouncing feet and your motherly smile
[01:33.42]	But when you're sleeping so far away I can't feel what's inside
[01:41.97]	How am I still holding on?
[01:44.55]	Oh God I hope I am holding
[01:51.30]	She'll try and describe what my strength provides but I fear my strength is failing
[02:00.57]	If I could change my mind
[02:03.51]	I would change
[02:06.57]	What's the change for the better
[02:11.34]	For a child who learns not to cry?
[02:16.98]	And to the boy who relies on his anger:
[02:22.41]	You'll survive but you won't feel exchange
[02:30.96]	And why all these doubts?
[02:33.72]	And what are all these doubts?
[02:40.59]	I see in her eyes that I'm holding her fine but all I'm hearing is doubts
[02:50.37]	Even as water's crushing over my head
[02:58.14]	And the rhythm that I would slow is picking up it's pace
[03:06.36]	I'm learning from older shames as I'm watching them die
[03:14.34]	And I'm still hoping to see her smile in the morning when we wake
[03:22.80]	Now that I am waking up
[03:25.44]	Oh God I hope I am waking
[03:32.19]	Though I'm overwhelmed at times I find that I'm less afraid of change
[03:46.94]	Change all the time
[03:52.53]	I'm still finding what's sure
[03:54.99]	And not getting lost in my mind
[03:57.54]	I know I can try
[04:03.57]	Needing my own
[04:05.64]	But still
[04:06.03]	Getting lost in her eyes
[04:08.43]	And hoping it's time
[04:14.55]	Wide eyed
[04:20.87]	I get wide eyed

[00:00.00]	Guiding her into dream time
[00:31.56]	Following lights in her eyes
[00:36.84]	This living behind' s got her frightened
[00:41.85]	So I' m here and I' m working all night
[00:50.46]	How is she not breaking down?
[00:52.95]	Oh God I feel her shaking
[00:59.94]	Try as I might to provide her light
[01:02.43]	In the end it' s she who' s breaking
[01:09.21]	I' m holding the choice as she grows life from it' s stem
[01:17.43]	Is it better to say not now when I' m trying learn: yes?
[01:25.32]	Cos I' m dreaming of bouncing feet and your motherly smile
