Box Around The Sun

(album: Our Own House - 2015)

I was just barely holding on
Trying to keep up
I saw no signs of anyone
Box built around the Sun
I thought to sleep the day away
But trees were as dark as the night's weight
How did you hear the drop of my tear
You chase all the fear

You were there for the waking
My soul was sleeping
You woke me, shaking every piece of me
You took me under
Eyes wide to you with wonder
Built me a heartstrong
Carry me on

We find light down any road we take
Feet never seem to break
Unable to feel unstable
And you carry me all the way
I take comfort in your eyes
Keep me feeling safe all the days
Oh whoa, oh whoa
Your presence gives me joy alone
Never do I face the world alone

You were there for the waking
My soul was sleeping
You woke me, shaking every piece of me
You took me under
Eyes wide to you with wonder
Built me a heartstrong
Carry me

On and on and on
On and on and on
On and on and on
On and on and on and on and on
And on and on
On and on and on
On and on and on
On and on and on

Put away the days
When home was what I chased
When love had no space to live
This world we built
Is long past filled
My hands cannot hold on to a shield
My hands cannot hold on to a shield, shield
Hands cannot hold on to a shield, shield
Opened up what I had sealed, sealed
Opened up what I had sealed, sealed

You were there for the waking
My soul was sleeping
You woke me, shaking every piece of me
You took me under
Eyes wide to you with wonder
Built me a heartstrong
Carry me

On and on and on
On and on and on
On and on and on
On and on and on and on and on
And on and on
On and on and on
On and on and on
On and on and on
