I'll plant you
Tend to you
Watch you
Keep you
I'm watering
The earth until
I see you grow
And you can weather the storm on your own
So that your limbs can touch the sky
You know this candle won't grow cold
It's burning inside
I'll wait for you
To sprout into
The beautiful world you
You were born in into
I'll water you
And care for you
Until the sun does shine
And you can weather the storm on your own
So that your limbs can touch the sky
You know this candle won't grow cold
It's burning inside
It's burning inside
Watching the world fade
As things grow around you
It's never the same thing cause times they change
But here you are standing so far beyond me
And long after I'm gone
And you can weather the storm on your own
So that your limbs can touch the sky
You know this candle won't grow cold
It's burning inside
