I'll Grow

from Witness by Derek Lassiter

/

lyrics

High in the desert sky the sun is bright
Land so dry sand is all that thrives

Sky will never rain again never open wide
A seed lays hard against the ground... never lives but never dies

I wait for tears like the desert waits for rain
I know when they come, I’ll grow like a forest in the sun

I wait for you like a lover waits in vain
For the one that glows the moon and shines the sun...

No matter how long I will wait, it’s the laughter
When all the tears have cried that I’m after

To grow and grow and grow
Is what I’m after

No feeling where there used to be
where I used to feel the most
thought I was stronger

Wide eyed and waiting
to see a miracle
jaded heart and diamond feet

Feel something and so I’ll speak
lost dreams lost loves
miss-steps and wrong turns

And so many, so many tears
