I'll Name Her Song

I ponder upon the waiting

What could I possibly do or say

To keep you safe

To keep you laughing through the days

To nurture within you

A sense of wrong

A sense of right

Before the world will take your joy away

And I'LL NAME HER SONG

And one day she'll sing along

And some days she'll cry and be lonely

But the melody's just beginning

I'LL NAME HER SONG

Let me apologize in advance

If it seems like I'm struggling

Or not listening... well

It's because I am

And please forgive me for when my failings manifest

To do what's "best"

A question never laid to rest

I'LL NAME HER SONG

And one day I'll sing along

And sometimes I won't have the answers

But maybe we'll learn them together

I'LL NAME HER SONG

There are parts, part of you

I will never understand

For who you are, and who you'll be

Was never truly up to me

So til I die, I'm going to try

Forever staying by your side

No 'mount of shame; to you, I claim

Forgiveness, calling you to change

Because the wonder of time

Is captured

In your eyes

I'LL NAME HER SONG
