What You Want (What Is Not Yet Lost)

And so Look how far you've grown You trace a child's chalk shape in the light of a fading sundown As tears race across your face And outline the ageing changes in your shadow Where did that child go? (Where did he go?) Let me tell you, he's inside you (He's inside) There is no sundown for he holds a candlelight he hopes Shall guide you And so What have you lost? Yes you're older and there's paths you've passed in the past behind you But you'll never see the sun of day without goodnighting the stars adieu And those stars are waiting to see just what you do Watching, glinting, wise, unblinking Like the eyes of the child you hold hands with beside you You two haven't changed Constellations merely rearrange I cannot see my face in these old photos All stars begin, before they grow to supernovas These fading frames are flaked in dusty chagrin Before each sunrise, a sunset must explode (What you want is lost...) And so Believe in reprise You've learned and grown, but you are still the same child As sure as your dreams live, there shall be sun tomorrow You're older But you've got time You've got time You've got time To get better (So much better) You've got time (All the time) To get better (So much better)
