The One Who Knows

Time it was
I had a dream
Youre the dream come true
If I had the world to give
Id give it all to you.
Ill take you to the mountains
I will take you to the sea
Ill show you how this life became
A miracle to me.
Youll fly away but take my hand until that day
So when they ask how far love goes
When my jobs done, youll be the one who knows.
All the things you treasure most
Will be the hardest won
I will watch you struggle on
Before the answers come
But I wont make it harder
Ill be there to cheer you on
Ill shine the light that guides you down
The road youre walking on
Youll fly away but take my hand until that day
So when they ask how far love goes
When my jobs done, youll be the one who knows.
Before the mountains call to you
Before you leave this home
I will teach your heart to trust
As I will teach my own
But sometimes
I will ask the moon
Where it shined upon you last
And shake my head and laugh and say
It all went by too fast
Youll fly away but take my hand until that day
So when they ask how far love goes
When my jobs done, youll be the one who knows.
