We said our promises by candlelight
You held my hands, I was dressed in white
We were young
How can we see that far?
How can we see that far?
I knew I wanted you like no one else
I told my momma that I'd found myself in your eyes
How can we see that far?
How can we see that far?
But like your daddy said
The same Sun that melts the wax can harden clay
And the same rain that drowns the rat will grow the hay
And the mighty wind that knocks us down
If we lean into it
Will drive our fears away
And then I woke in the dead of night
To hold my hands, push away the fright
Life had come
How can we see that far?
A son
How can we see that far?
Yeah, we were nervous and a little scared
Until the music of our baby's cry filled the air
How can we see that far?
How can we see that far?
But like your daddy said
The same Sun that melts the wax can harden clay
And the same rain that drowns the rat will grow the hay
And the mighty wind that knocks us down
If we lean into it
Will drive our fears away
We might die
We might live
We could hurt each other badly
Do things
Things so hard to forgive
Oh, and if time is not our friend
You mind might forget me before the end
And, oh, I cannot
I cannot look that far
But like your daddy said
The same Sun that melts the wax can harden clay
And the same rain that drowns the rat will grow the hay
And the mighty wind that knocks us down
If we lean into it
(How can we see that far?)
Got to lean into it
Will drive our fears away
It's the same Sun, yeah
And the same rain
It's the same Sun
And the same rain
