With every love Comes an unending art It goes and grows up like a rising sun It's simple enough The voice was in my heart I know, but no one said it could be done Don't lend me your hand Don't cry if you can't Reach out to everything So, what if I'm right I guess that I might Smile at the sight of daylight This may not help But I can tell you, now I know, but don't tell anybody else And don't tell me I'm wrong Just play along 'Cuz I don;t know anything So, what if I'm right I guess that I might Smile at the sight of daylight

There's a desperate reminder softly written on the page A calm and quiet cry for help with a faded letter "H" Both love and fear have found you as the nighttime closes in And suddenly the dream begins So open your eyes, child There's life in your hands The weight of the world Isn't meant to be yours And you still have a chance There's no greater sound than finding hope for love forlorn Screaming at the walls won't fail you like it's done before And all this piercing silence that could cut a man too soon It's killing me, and it's killing you Just open your eyes, child There's life in your hands The weight of the world Isn't meant to be yours And you still have a chance So open your eyes, love There's life in your hands The weight of the world Isn't meant to be yours And you still have a chance The dream is over, now The dream is over Just open your eyes, child There's life in your hands The weight of the world Isn't meant to be yours So just open your eyes, child There's life in your hands The weight of the world Isn't meant to be yours And you still have a chance So open your eyes, love There's life in your hands The weight of the world Isn't meant to be yours And you still have a chance You still have a chance You still have a chance

I can't explain what's been happenin' Been to the moon and back, again I'm gonna pass it down like stories from way back when Back when I didn't know just what the sky could hold Or what the birds and the bees were told I was a starry-eyed fool with a mind spinning out of control And all I want for you For you to want it, too That all the wonder still remains For all the things I can't explain I can't explain where this is coming from All those songs I wrote about the sun Well, now they all revolve around my son And I can't explain 'Cuz all I want for you For you to want it, too That all the wonder still remains For all the things I can't explain And all I really want for you For you to want it, too That all the wonder still remains For all the things I can't explain 'Cuz over on the other side The grass ain't as green as mine It's not as green as you and I I'm gonna teach you how to right your wrongs And I'll teach you how to sing your songs And to fight right through the storm before the calm And all I want for you Is for you to want it, too That all the wonder still remains For all the things I can't explain And all I really want for you For you to want it, too That all the wonder still remains For all the things I can't explain It's like that feeling when the sun shines when it rains That I can't explain

Little Momma 02:51
She's been all the little places that you'll go Making friends with all the daydreams that you'll grow to know And she'll make no exceptions For anyone So keep your dreams alive Like your little momma I'll hold you tight Like your little momma They say a picture's worth A thousand words Well, I'm gonna sing an endless verse 'Cuz all I see is you And your little momma When we lay you down to fall asleep I hope you keep your mind wide open and the wonder so deep Breath in the starlight When you say goodnight And keep your dreams alive Like your little momma I'll hold you tight Like your little momma If a picture's worth a thousand words Then I'm gonna sing an endless verse 'Cuz all I see is you And your little momma, momma, momma Little momma, momma, momma Little momma Little momma Keep your dreams alive Like your little momma I'll hold you tight Like your little momma If it's all the same, I'll gladly claim That I'll be sure I can explain That I know you'll grow to be Just like your little momma, momma, momma Little momma, momma Oh, you're gonna be your momma, momma, Momma's boy

I was never lost till I let me fall apart But the pieces led me back to a spoken work of art The words were frozen in time But I was destined to find That the voice was always here within my heart Now something's going on in the center of the sun It's burning through the night, washing out the starry sky I was almost afraid But then a promise was made That when the night returns, our lives will come undone I'm not here to fear for that day 'Cuz it's only the beginning of our fate I feel we'll come back to life At the sight of tonight At the sight of tonight I've been getting lost in the magic of your words Of everything I'd learned, suddenly I wasn't sure It was hard not to read Past the lines that we'd need So I stopped myself before it was a blur I'm not here to fear the unknown, But I know there's something more than we've been shown I feel we'll come back to life At the sight of tonight At the sight of tonight I was never lost till I let me fall apart But the pieces led me back to a broken work of art I was destined to fight At the sight of tonight To repair the broken pieces of my heart
