Night |
|
Field of stars above us |
|
You pick one, |
|
we frame it with our fingers intertwined |
|
Seeds of every generation between our hands |
|
And the promise to teach you the little |
|
i have learned so far |
|
Child |
|
What will you live to do? |
|
What have i left for you? |
|
What will we leave behind? |
|
You |
|
Learning as you're growing, |
|
not yet knowing the world isn't always |
|
quite as beautiful as it is now |
|
is it the night |
|
Child |
|
What will you live to do? |
|
What have i left for you? |
|
What will we leave behind? |
|
Child |
|
What will you live to do? |
|
What have i left for you? |
|
What will we leave behind? |
|
Night |
|
Field of stars above us |
|
I pick one and name it for you |
|
and all who are to come |
