shadows on the water from a memory that turns inside from the last time i saw you happier than i ve seen you in a long time and all these faces oh how they adore you with every blessing every strength of the storm and it seems to me it all worked out so different funny how distance and time they don t change at all so may your worries may your worries never fall too loud and may you stay here may you stay here happy in your own skin on the ninth cloud cold to every warning oh these ships that passed through years before and bolder now than a brand new morning with the sun on your face the bruise and the breaks of these careless arms so hold your body hold your body strong in these winds that blind may i find you may we sit together when we re grey and old on cloud nine this life will move you with every step outside it s alright it s alright my arms are open wide for you this life will move you as graceful as the tide it s alright it s alright loosen the fears that bind you loosen the fears that bind you
