here’s for the years the worms have eaten
grace for the youth that’s almost gone
i was awake when you were sleeping
when you are weak i still am strong

don’t despair child- you’d think i can hold you up when you fall
if i can hold up the stars i can answer your call

why so anxious? you’d think i can light up the path for your feet
if i can turn on the sun - let it shine in your street
when i rise up, when i’m carefully painting the dawn it’s for you
rise and shine love, give glory where glory is due
