Dar Williams - You Rise And Meet The Day lyrics

rate me

We could pretend that we're walking on

Petals and light, golden light

Flaunting our love like a dance step mastered

Turning from left to right

But after all the colored lights are gone

Time will leave the ashes and the dawn

You rise and meet the day

I'm watching you go, it's like spying on hope

Ever onward with more to burn

Giving your hands and your heart

To the weave of the world, though it fights each turn

But you do not give up so easily

That's how I know you won't surrender me

You rise and meet the day

It's all I need, it's all I need to know, it's all I need to know

And I love you all the time

I had always feared that some

Gloomy ingratitude would seize me

But you have held the dream like every morning finds

A way to hang the sun up in the sky

And now I think I have it too

The greatest part I learned from you

You rise and meet the day

And I can see kids, maybe yours, maybe not

Oh, I can hear what they'll say

Laughing at pictures with the old-fashioned hats

And the clothes that we're wearing today

And they will know the true and humble power

Of love that made it through the darkest hour

You rise and meet the day

It's all I need, it's all I need to know, it's all I need to know
