Well I caught my eye on a western sun
Something bold, leapt up slow
It said, “My child, son do you recall;
Dreaming big, feeling tall?”

Well I lost my height, my timeless wonder
Left them out for the wind to steal
I hid wide eyes behind this fear of falling
I said, “I’m no child, I’m no child at all”

He said, “Don’t hold that.
Go everywhere, feel everything, see everyone you want, yourself,
And nothing’s lost of all you’ve held”

Child your heart’s on fire
All of my, my love, it grows out like a vine
Wouldn’t be so tangled if time moved slow
I’d rest my shoulders and who knows what we might find

I saw that light grasp and tremble
On a long dark night on an earthbound soul
Tired and weeping, lost and reaching out
Only then will you find yourself

He said, “Don’t hold that.
Go everywhere, feel everything, see everyone you want, yourself
And nothing’s lost of all you’ve held”

Child your heart’s on fire
All of my, my love, it grows out like a vine
Wouldn’t be so tangled if time moved slow,
I’d rest my shoulders and who knows what we might find

“So rest your eyes on an endless sea,” he said
“Let it rise to the highest depth
You’re not this body, it’s only a spark of light
from the endless fire you hold inside”

He said, “Don’t hold that.
Go everywhere, feel everything, see everyone you want, yourself
And nothing’s lost of all you’ve held”

Child your heart’s on fire
All of my, my love, it grows out like a vine
Wouldn’t be so tangled if time moved slow,
I’d rest my shoulders and who knows what we might find.
