Best Intentions

Did you know stars add up more than every single grain of sand on earth?

Some bigger than the sun, little one

Won't you sing me a tune, paint me a little balloon

And let it fly, high as it could knowing it never would touch the sky

It will be enough

To fill your little cup with courage and best intentions

Give it all away

There will come a day when I'm sure it will make the sense it needs

Picture a songbird with no one but sky to call out and cry to

With a voice tiny as a pearl, in a world

That seems too vast to be heard and let alone last

But still her call rings to remind her that she's still alive after all

It will be enough

To fill your little cup with courage and best intentions

Give it all away

There will come a day when I'm sure it will make the sense it needs

I know you'll long for some way to leave your mark on this holy world

But if you feel too small for it all

Just remember this, life is so easy to miss

Here and gone, better to dance than to dwell on the chances you'll fall

It will be enough

To fill your little cup with courage and best intentions

Give it all away

There will come a day when I'm sure it will make the sense it needs
