I was a child and saw the world for all it was in my blindness, blindness
A quiet place beneath the moon, a quiet home and you were kindness, kindness
Now and then to belong be a child again a heart so strong
Remember laughing when the days were long and summer was a never ending fire
Old friend, I was born to put my life in your hands
To be kindness when there's a lot about you I don't understand
And if anyone can make me feel like I was never born you can
I gave my heart when I was young and in my mind I couldn't take it, take it
Your life is all you have and when you gave it up I chose to break it, break it
Oh my love, how you've grown into a living thing all your own
And when you use a weight leave your home and take my longing with you when you go
Old friend, I was born to put my life in your hands
To be kindness when there's a lot about you I don't understand
And if anyone can make me feel like I was never born you can
Old friend, I was born to put my life in your hands
(My old friend, I was born to put my life inside your hands)
To be kindness when there's a lot about you I don't understand
(There's a lot that I don't understand)
And if anyone can make me feel like I was never born you can
(Feel like I was never born)
Waiting for tomorrow made you old so young
Yesterday is over and today is done
But if you sit beneath the moon you will hear her song
In this tiny moment you have found where you belong
(repeat 3x)
Waiting for tomorrow made you old so young
Yesterday is over and today is done
But if you sit beneath the moon you will hear her song
In this tiny moment you have found where you belong
(repeat 6x)
