In Wonder

So young and so naïve
I wish I could give you the eyes to see
The world around us and what it holds for you
I know you're not fond of making friends
But I'll be yours until the end
And I can promise that what I say is true

Close your eyes to the darkened sky
We're here together, you and I
I'll hold you when you're
Scared of the thunder
I'll always protect you, I'll never leave
I'll watch you grow into who
You're meant to be
With you I'll watch the world in wonder
I see you changing every day
Sometimes I wish that I could stop and say
Don't grow up too fast
Or you'll trip and fall
Even though things are going to change
In my heart, they will stay the same
I will always be here, through it all

Close your eyes to the darkened sky
We're here together, you and I
I'll hold you when you're
Scared of the thunder
I'll always protect you, I'll never leave
I'll watch you grow into who
You're meant to be
With you I'll watch the world in wonder

Do you know how much you mean to me?
Do you know that I really care?
Do you know that I will always be there?
I hope you'll always remember
Those short-lived times
When it was just you and I

Close your eyes to the darkened sky
We're here together, you and I
I'll hold you when you're
Scared of the thunder
I'll always protect you, I'll never leave
I'll watch you grow into who
You're meant to be
With you I'll watch the world in wonder
