Guiding her into dream time Following lights in her eyes This living behinds got her frightened So Im here and Im 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 its she whos breaking Im holding the choice as she grows life from its stem Is it better to say not now when Im trying learn yes? Im dreaming of bouncing feet and your motherly smile But when youre sleeping so far away I cant feel whats inside How am I still holding on? Oh God I hope I am holding Shell try and describe what my strength provides but I fear my strength is failing If I could change my mind I would change Whats the change for the better For a child who learns not to cry? And to the boy who relies on his anger Youll survive but you wont feel exchange And why all these doubts? And what are all these doubts? I see in her eyes that Im holding her fine but all Im hearing is doubts Even as waters crushing over my head And the rhythm that I would slow is picking up its pace Im learning from older shames as Im watching them die And Im 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 Im overwhelmed at times I find that Im less afraid of change Change all the time Im still finding whats 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 its time Wide eyed I get wide eyed
