You Rise And Meet The Day - Dar Williams

作词：Dar Williams

作曲：Dar Williams

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
