You bounced in
Overjoyed at life, at music,
At me.
You bounced in and I taught you a tune
Expecting nothing.

And when I was cocooned and numbed in sorrow
You kissed my cheeck
And my heart exploded
And the sun itself - though it was night -
The sun itself flowed through my veins.

And here we are.
And you're a pillar of hope, of courage
You heal me.

I've dragged you through my pain and sorrow
But with arms around me
You paint stars and joy
You bring me home.
