We Cannot Waste The Light

(album: Hours Before Morning - 2022)

I have seen what the winds can bring
When colder days start to break

And I have known when the snow takes hold
That weaker souls will not escape

Like flowers in the garden
We paint the world in gold
Until the ground has hardened and leaves begin to fall

I'll be the one who sees you
Be broken in my eyes
It's cracks that let the light shine through
And we cannot waste the light

We cannot waste the light

Branches take me to the tops of trees
Where I can gaze down on worlds beneath

And all things reach
For a sky's soft heat
And souls that sleep begin to wake

Like fireworks in the canyon
We dance against the walls
Until we lay abandoned like all things beautiful

I'll be the one who sees you
Be broken in my eyes
It's cracks that let the light shine through
And we cannot waste the light

We cannot waste the light
