Darling Dear
There's holes in my shoes and there's a light inside of you
I can't quite recognize
Cracks in the sidewalk, children swimming in the leaves
I can't quite recognize
Oh, ya know, let's lay one low in the alley where we used to meet
Oh, ya know, let's take it slow. There's room to grow, there's room to grow
There's room to grow
Oh little girl inside of me,
I'm sorry for the things you've seen,
My baby darling
Nothing hurts quite worse
Than when the ones you love the most
Can't stop their suffering
Oh, ya know, my darling dear,
There's a light that takes away all fear.
Oh, ya know, my darling dear,
It's okay to be happy here.
It's okay to be happy!
Are we born with pain and shame and greed
Are we meant to house such suffering?
Tell me what you think.
I think we're born to live and love
And count the endless stars above
While we're here.
