You Have Been

When Iawoke I was the song you sang A melody that flowed and I became Your love, it breathed upon the wind It's beckoned every moment since In every breath I've taken, you have been I learned to walk and thought my way was best You hovered as I took unsteady steps But love is patient, hope is firm You held me, but you let me learn In every step I've taken, you have been I have run and you have chased me I've come undone, you've been my safety You're my father, mother, my beloved My heart My friend Oh you have been I started fires and run into the flames A soul so wild it revelled in the pain When all the embers lost their spark You held the ashes of my heart In every wreck and ruin, you have been I have run and you have chased me I've come undone, you've been my safety You're my father, mother, my beloved My heart My friend Oh you have been Your love's a song that's always played In life's major and minor strains You're my beginning you'll be my end And everything that I am Oh you have been I have run and you have chased me I've come undone, you've been my safety You're my father, mother, my beloved My heart My friend Oh you have been Oh you have been
