If I could just swing higher
I could catch you
I could touch you
and not get burned
I could bring you back
and keep you with me
always

If you could just shine longer
I could know you better
I could listen harder
and hear what you are saying
I could take those words
and keep them with me
always

But you must go back home
To the sleep of darkness
to the home of others
and shine on them too
So they can listen and know you
better

Shine on me now
and warm me to the core
radiate your love on me
and sing to my heart
and I will do my best to love you
always
