lyrics

I take light in, give light out like a window
TImes of darkness times of drought I still feel warm in the pouring rain
I swear there’s been, too many blessings to count I can begin though
My breath, my flesh my souls at rest sun shining down to guide me through every test
and the heartbeat in my mothers chest oh yes

Step back take in the bigger picture, don’t let me forget it if goes away
Tide rolls in tide rolls out, sun pull the earth to a brand new day
and moments of change, moments of strain, moments of pain they’ll take you away
don’t get lost no, don’t get lost no

Chorus
You can strain your eyesight on the horizon
or relax your focus and be here today
You can strain your eyesight on the horizon
don’t give up give up just give in, don’t give up give up

Times they change, plant a seed build a love to make a new heartbeat
take my blood and take my eyes, take my devotion till the end of time
I swear this love will make me stronger, I swear my light will shine brighter
My son my son I swear these eyes will look upon you with nothing but the deepest pride
and we’ll be blessed next to your mothers side oh yes

Chorus

When I feel still, I still feel and the moments real, and the moments real
