Hide Not Your Light
[Verse 1]
The first time I saw you
You would not stop to talk
Your fierce determination
Was gonna get you to the top
Then the mountain became
As a blade of grass
Lowering you to the delphin sea

[Pre-Chorus]
Can one's heart
Can one's heart break
Can one's heart break
Even as it bursting be?

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
Can one's heart
Can one's heart break
Can one's heart break
Even as it bursting be?

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
Can one's heart
Can one's heart break
Can one's heart break
Even as it bursting be?
[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
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
