Time it was I had a dream
You're the dream come true
If I had the world to give
I'd give it all to you.
I'll take you to the mountains
I will take you to the sea
I'll show you how this life became
A miracle to me.
You'll fly away
but take my hand until that day
So when they ask how far love goes
When my job's done, you'll be the one who knows.
All the things you treasure most
Will be the hardest won
I will watch you struggle on
Before the answers come
But I won't make it harder
I'll be there to cheer you on
I'll shine the light that guides you down
The road you're walking on
You'll fly away
but take my hand until that day
So when they ask how far love goes
When my job's done, you'll be the one who knows.
Before the mountains call to you
Before you leave this home
I will teach your heart to trust
As I will teach my own
But sometimes I will ask the moon
Where it shined upon you last
And shake my head and laugh and say
It all went by too fast
You'll fly away
but take my hand until that day
So when they ask how far love goesWhen my job's done, you'll be the one who knows.

We played this song at the welcoming/celebration of names ceremony for Curious Girl, and she proudly refers to it as "my song." We're happy to share it with you now, with wishes for all four of you to enjoy coming to know each other. May your hearts turn toward each other in ways that enrich you all. Blessings upon all of you.
