Beautiful Place Lyrics

I wanna live in a beautiful place

Where the grass is as green as the smile that has spread 'cross your face

It's the morning and everything's new

You're a shape shifting child just drinking the dew

And so I wanna give you what I never had

But my memory deceives me so all of my gifts turn out bad

No they're never as good as I'd hoped

And so I wind up asking forgiveness, confessing that

Most days I wanna be small as an apple seed

Wide as a memory, drawing in nearer to thee

Where you lead, I will follow you, I will follow you

To every sunset I whisper I love you

You are the last one of your kind that I ever will see

In this dream, you're a leaf, and my dear I'm the scientist studying cycles and trees

And since I want to give you all I never had

I will toughen you up and I'll watch as you fall to your death

And I'll visit as you decompose

And you'll teach me of new life and new breath and knowing that

Most days I wanna be small as an apple seed

Wide as a memory, drawing in nearer to thee

Where you lead, I will follow you, I will follow you

Though some days I'm bound to be

Cruel as the enemy, bearing no offering, longing for closeness with thee

Where you lead I will follow you, I will follow you
