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
