Hard
I could show you all the joy
If you could look into your eyes like I do
I'd love to take you down toward the river
When you are dry
And if you have a little time
I'll spend the next lifetime by your side
I've learned to understand there's more
To this world than
The morning and the sky
It's very hard to sit and watch you now
It's very hard to know you're on your own
It's very hard to move through unfamiliar
Worlds I've never known
It's not enough to make some sense of it
It's not enough to even comprehend
It's not about the life we've left behind
Or the life that leaves us spinning in the end
If I could see you through the night
If I could help you see yourself like I do
I'd find a way to lift your courage higher
Like you lift mine
And I'd have something more to say
Then what I've said a thousand other times
I'd tell you there's a new train running
And the balance keeps us both alive
It's very hard to sit and watch you now
It's very hard to know you're on your own
It's very hard to move through unfamiliar
Worlds I've never known
It's not enough to make some sense of it
It's not enough to even comprehend
It's not about the life we've left behind
Or the life that leaves us spinning in the end
Oh, but it dawned on me
At four o'clock this morning
That through all the waiting
You're just now arriving
The life you're living
Is just now beginning
So move it on, move it on, move it on
It's very hard to sit and watch you now
It's very hard to know you're on your own
It's very hard to move through unfamiliar
Worlds I've never known
It's not enough to make some sense of it
It's not enough to even comprehend
It's not about the life we've left behind
Or the life that leaves us spinning in the end
