May these words be the first to find your ears The world is brighter than the sun now that you're here Though your eyes will need some time to adjust To the overwhelming light surrounding us I'll give you everything I have I'll teach you everything I know I promise I'll do better I will always hold you close But I will learn to let you go I promise I'll do better I will soften every edge I'll hold the world to it's best And I'll do better With every heartbeat I have left I will defend your every breath And I'll do better 'Cause you are loved You are loved more than you know I hereby pledge all of my days to prove it so Though your heart is far too young to realize The unimaginable light you hold inside I'll give you everything I have I'll teach you everything I know I promise I'll do better I will always hold you close But I will learn to let you go I promise I'll do better I will rearrange the stars Pull 'em down to where you are I promise I'll do better With every heartbeat I have left I'll defend your every breath I promise I'll do better I will soften every edge Hold the world to it's best I promise I'll do better With every heartbeat I have left I'll defend your every breath

Just a flash of light In the nedless night And it's done One day a diamondback From the flour sack Is gonna come I hear the old folks when they say It's funny how time slips away I here the old folks when they say Days getting shorter every day Then the box and stone A little weep and moan And it's done Flesh and bone Will pay off the loan When it's done I hear the old folks when they say It's funny how time slips away I here the old folks when they say Days getting shorter every day Come here now You better come fast Come here now As long as we last No more two by two No more me and you When it's done Dreams and photographs Are what will be left When it's done I hear the old folks when they say It's funny how time slips away I here the old folks when they say Days getting shorter every day Come here now You better come fast Come here now As long as we last Come here now You better come fast Come here now As long as we last

While the seasons will undo your soul Time forgives us and it takes control Separate our things to put us back together We're light as a feather Heavy as the weather If it was raining stones Put our hands together to applaud or pray It's like the show was over but we're too scared to walk away All for the better Worse for the wear We're light as a feather Got you and I together Meanwhile inside of me It was raining stones You didn't know God bless your soul We're light as a feather Heavy as the weather We're light as a feather Got you and I together
