Ascension

November 24, 2003

 

You catch me when I'm falling down

Place me on my feet, back on solid ground

Thank you for every day you have given me

You have given me...

 

Little toy soldiers on the floor

Paint's worn off, you can't see their faces anymore

Why does the child still call them all by name?

To him they never were the same

 

And I need you, more than I've needed anyone

And I see you, looking after me

I breathe you, I feel I can go anywhere

To be with you, is all I need

To be...

 

Memories stuffed inside a little book

Faded photographs this family once took

Friends and childhoods that are all long gone

We grew up too fast, no more toys left on that lawn

 

And I need you, more than I've needed anyone

And I see you, looking after me

I breathe you, I feel I can go anywhere

To be with you, is all I need

To be...

 

And I need you, more than I've needed anyone

And I see you, looking after me

I breathe you, I feel I can go anywhere

To be with you, is all I need

To be...

 

Words and phrases on the letterhead

I am touched by all the things you've said

Come with me, take me by the hand

We'll walk together, in the ocean sand

 

And I need you, more than I've needed anyone

And I see you, looking after me

I breathe you, I feel I can go anywhere

To be with you, is all I need

To be...

And I need you, more than I've needed anyone

And I see you, looking after me

I breathe you, I feel I can go anywhere

To be with you, is all I need

To be...
