I see the days by the light of the sun, by the light of the earth burned bright
I see your goodness, I see your grace
I see the laugh lines at the corners of your eyes, I see your face
I see this place, I see the seasons change
I see us age, all light and empty space taking shape
And I want to be tender, as tender can be
I want to remember, I want to be free
I see my people, I see my way
I’ve got so much to practice, but sometimes I don’t have much to say
Sing your songs, as bright as the sun
Do your part, keep the faith, love those little ones
Oh the heart gathers what it grows
What you practice is what you know
And though I don’t know much about
Still I dream of wanting to be here now
Wake me up, wake me up, wake me up somehow
