| [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 |
