The Difference You Made Lyrics

How many breaths are you gonna take

How many songs are you gonna make

How many days and weeks and dates

How many people will see your smiling face

How long will you wait to marry

How much baggage can you carry

How many cookies you gonna bake

How much more you think you can take

How long will the romance last

How long till the flag's half-mast

It's a toss-up, it's a compromise

With life and fate and destiny

And when the singing goes quiet

And the wind dies down still

When the sun stops its rising

When the moon finally fills

And the blood all drains empty

And your cup overfills

When the ravens stop waiting

For the seeds to be sown

When the cloud covers everything

That you have ever known

Then you'll see the result

Of your shine on earth

You'll see each thing mattered

Great and small

Every word uttered, every glance falls

On a scale of what's right and what's never true

You'll see the worth of all you do

When the time rolls around

You'll confront the real you

And know the difference you make
