With an outstretched hand
and an open heart
You make your mark on what you know
You'll take your mind
and a steady body
and create a life from the dust
Though there's wind outside
and a crackle in the sky
the fear that lurks is of a different kind
You tell me softly
with a quiver in your chin
that your fear of love keeps you hidden in
You say one day soon
when the clouds roll away
and the sun begins to shine
you'll love me that day
With a brain
deeper than the sea
the blue waters can't compare to what's inside of you
I know your pain
and your reason for shame
but I will hold on this wavering ground
You say one day soon
when the clouds roll away
and the sun begins to shine
you'll love me that day
And the flowers in the field they call
take my hand and sit with me
they cannot take away the thoughts you have
keep them locked away
keep them locked away
keep them locked away
You say one day soon
when the clouds roll away
and the sun begins to shine
you'll love me that day
and an open heart
You make your mark on what you know
You'll take your mind
and a steady body
and create a life from the dust
Though there's wind outside
and a crackle in the sky
the fear that lurks is of a different kind
You tell me softly
with a quiver in your chin
that your fear of love keeps you hidden in
You say one day soon
when the clouds roll away
and the sun begins to shine
you'll love me that day
With a brain
deeper than the sea
the blue waters can't compare to what's inside of you
I know your pain
and your reason for shame
but I will hold on this wavering ground
You say one day soon
when the clouds roll away
and the sun begins to shine
you'll love me that day
And the flowers in the field they call
take my hand and sit with me
they cannot take away the thoughts you have
keep them locked away
keep them locked away
keep them locked away
You say one day soon
when the clouds roll away
and the sun begins to shine
you'll love me that day
This was written as a song. I have a deep, deep yearning for people with well, deep, minds and kind hearts. I believe that the person this song is addressed to is also part of me somewhere. It kind of is about a fear of committing and loving and thinking because the world/culture makes it seem like these things are foreign and wrong. The world makes it seem as if one night stands and meaningless *** is what life is about. There's no love in that. I want something real and something the world can't take away. That is absolutely what this poem/song is about.
