box around the sun

i was just barely holding on

trying to keep up

i saw no signs of anyone

box built around the sun

i thought to sleep the day away

but trees were as dark as the night's weight

how did you hear the drop of my tear

you chase all the fear

you were there for the waking

my soul was sleeping

you woke me

shaking every piece of me

you took me under

eyes wide to you with wonder

built me a heartstrong

carry me on

we find light down any road we take

feet never seem to break

unable to feel unstable

and you carry me all the way

i take comfort in your eyes

keep me feeling safe all the days

oh whoa

oh whoa

your presence gives me joy alone

never do i face the world alone

you were there for the waking

my soul was sleeping

you woke me

shaking every piece of me

you took me under

eyes wide to you with wonder

built me a heartstrong

carry me

on and on and on

on and on and on

on and on and on

on and on and on and on and on

and on and on

on and on and on

on and on and on

on and on and on

put away the days

when home was what i chased

when love had no space to live

this world we built

is long past filled

my hands cannot hold on to a shield

my hands cannot hold on to a shield

shield

hands cannot hold on to a shield

shield

opened up what i had sealed

sealed

opened up what i had sealed

sealed

you were there for the waking

my soul was sleeping

you woke me

shaking every piece of me

you took me under

eyes wide to you with wonder

built me a heartstrong

carry me

on and on and on

on and on and on

on and on and on

on and on and on and on and on

and on and on

on and on and on

on and on and on

on and on and on
