You are born
From a force of your father's
You were cut
From the same cloth as I
You were brought forth
Bathing in a light of your own
You're the life I hide
Asleep by my side

You're the language I speak
In the blink of an eye
You're the promise that I'll keep
Until the day that I die
You're the stillness in the woes
That follow me to my bed
You're the patience that I seek
As time's not done with you yet

But still
You're everything

God could try all that he wants
With all the time that he has
But he will never create
Something as divine as I have
You're a nearer kind of heaven
Than any god I've known
You're the universe I can't believe
I can call my own
Slow down waters
Don't take him from me
I've waited a lifetime
For him to be

I'll become an angel
Just to watch over you
And wipe your tears when you fall
And when I leave this world
I won't be gone from you forever
So don't you cry for me at all
