Wide Eyed |
| Guiding her into dream time |
| Following lights in her eyes |
| This living behind’s got her frightened |
| So I’m here and I’m working all night |
| How is she not breaking down? |
| Oh God I feel her shaking |
| Try as I might to provide her light |
| In the end it’s she who’s breaking |
| I’m holding the choice as she grows life from it’s stem |
| Is it better to say not now when I’m trying learn: yes? |
| I’m dreaming of bouncing feet and your motherly smile |
| But when you’re sleeping so far away I can’t feel what’s inside |
| How am I still holding on? |
| Oh God I hope I am holding |
| She’ll try and describe what my strength provides but I fear my strength is |
| failing |
| If I could change my mind |
| I would change |
| What’s the change for the better |
| For a child who learns not to cry? |
| And to the boy who relies on his anger: |
| You’ll survive but you won’t feel exchange |
| And why all these doubts? |
| And what are all these doubts? |
| I see in her eyes that I’m holding her fine but all I’m hearing is doubts |
| Even as water’s crushing over my head |
| And the rhythm that I would slow is picking up it’s pace |
| I’m learning from older shames as I’m watching them die |
| And I’m still hoping to see her smile in the morning when we wake |
| Now that I am waking up |
| Oh God I hope I am waking |
| Though I’m overwhelmed at times I find that I’m less afraid of change |
| Change all the time |
| I’m still finding what’s sure |
| And not getting lost in my mind |
| I know I can try |
| Needing my own |
| But still |
| Getting lost in her eyes |
| And hoping it’s time |
| Wide eyed |
| I get wide eyed |
