Before you

\nWith you inside there’ll always be fresh castles in the air
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 You bend my dreams in ways I can’t describe
\nYou show me things I cannot see and make me want to share
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Your magic with the others of our tribe
\nBefore you there were daffodils now golden trumpets play
\nBefore you I was too afraid to to let my feelings stray<\/p>\n
Since you were there the sun has dawned in rains of golden light
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 And children smile like laughter after tears
\nYou gave me ways to touch the sky and helped me hear the night
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 I built a bridge across the wasted years
\nBefore you there were poplar trees now needles pierce a cloud
\nBefore you I read silently and now I write out loud<\/p>\n
You’d fill balloons with helium to paint a dark grey sky
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 And draw a film in just two dozen words
\nYou showed me I was not immune from learning how to fly
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 That you and I could rise above the birds
\nBefore you there were gentle waves now fingers tease the beach
\nBefore you I was far too short now all of life’s in reach<\/p>\n
I hear new voices in my head, and all of them are you
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Explaining life a hundred different ways
\nI see the same things every day, but every day they’re new
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 And waiting for another turn of phrase
\nBefore you there was black and white, my colour gamut’s changed
\nBefore you life walked in straight lines now all is rearranged<\/p>\n
You taught me things aren’t as they seem and I don’t have to lose
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Another way is always just in sight
\nDid you decide the rainbow’s shape, and choose the hues to use?
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 And if not you then who could get it right?
\nBefore you I was someone else, but now I’m sure I’m me
\nBefore you I was locked away but then you set me free<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
