The first time I saw you
You would not stop to talk
Your fierce determination
Was going to get you to the top
Then the mountain became
As a blade of grass
Lowering you to the delphin sea
Can one’s heart
Can one’s heart break
Can one’s heart break
Even as it bursting be?
I love you, yes I do
I love everything about you
I love how you laugh in your sleep
How you smell of roses when you weep
I love your style
Your wide-open prairie smile
Hide not your light under a bushel
The next time I saw you
I saw that you had changed
You’d pulled the darkness ’round you
And hid yourself away
Liquified by ancient tides
You , you waited quietly
Can one’s heart
Can one’s heart break
Can one’s heart break
Even as it bursting be?
I love you, yes I do
I love everything about you
I love how you laugh in your sleep
How you smell of roses when you weep
I love your style
Your wide-open prairie smile
Hide not your light under a bushel
The last time I saw you
You’d changed your name to Liberty
Your fierce determination
As you twisted to break free
And when you finally unfurled
In glorious victory
Can one’s heart
Can one’s heart break
Can one’s heart break
Even as it bursting be?
I love you, yes I do
I love everything about you
What you might consider a weakness or a flaw
We consider uniqueness, real and right for you
I love your style
Your wide-open prairie smile
Hide not your light under a bushel
Hide not your light under a bushel
Hide not your light under a bushel
Hide not your light under a bushel
Someday you might (Someday you might)
Need your own light (Need your own light)
To see (To see)
Hide not your light (To see) under a bushel
