just set it free

so whats it gonna be mama?

you gonna let it be mama?

you give all your love and strength and joy?

you gonna spoil it rotten and buy every toy?

you gonna teach it all that can and all that you are?

who you gonna be mama?

you gonna be a mean mama?

or you gonna teach love and joy and all the beauty in the world?

or are you gonna just run right out of control?

you gonna leave all your fears behind?

you gonna be authentic all the time?

or will you dream an extension of a life you never had?

you gonna cripple its spirit with all the good and the bad?

who you gonna be mama?

you wanna let it be mama

you wanna let it be mama

see its spirit run free mama

give it love and set it free

just give it love and let it be

the Blower's daughter - Damien Rice

And so it is
Just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on me
Most of the time
And so it is
The shorter story
No love, no glory
No hero in her sky

I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes...

And so it is
Just like you said it should be
We'll both forget the breeze
Most of the time
And so it is
The colder water
The blower's daughter
The pupil in denial

I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes...

Did I say that I loathe you?
Did I say that I want to
Leave it all behind?

I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind...
My mind...my mind...
'Til I find somebody new

for you

I wish you knew
the way i felt every time i thought of you
or saw your face
your smile
your walk
your touch

I wish you knew how my heart leapt
the dreams that were born inside my heart
every time i thought of you
or listened to your voice
or felt your touch

i wish you knew

how i long to let you go from my heart
as i did from my life

i wish i could forgive the choice i made

that i never said
or the price that i pay

im glad you dont know
for youre happier this way

my stoic sense and self belief

when you follow riteousness instead of joy

how you haunt my dreams
in the silence between the thoughts you reappear
beautiful
perfect
you

i wish you knew
