Raise Well

As you are

As I am

Imagine her face

Imagine his tiny hands

Take my words

And hold them under the waves

I promise you they will float you away

In a storm

Are my shoulders strong?

When my will is weak

When the nights are long

I wanna make love

And come out of my shell

I wanna rise up

I want our family smell

Yeah, I wanna raise well

Figure out

Desperately

I wanna laugh as we fail

As we fall to our knees

Make it up

Set fire to the plan

Just like everyone else

Since life began

I wanna make love

And come out of my shell

I wanna rise up

Yeah, I wanna raise well

I wanna be tough

But be a real soft sell

I just wanna raise love

I don't wanna raise hell

I just wanna raise well

I just wanna raise well
