Stay

Have you all of my lifetime
Kind hard to make light
Imagining when you're inside
When you made those kicks at night
Don't wanna hurt you
Don't wanna run away from myself
Want your whole star to shine on in
One star, one light
The meaning of life
You won't let me go astray
You will let me find my way
Find a way to stand
And a time to walk away
Letting go to let you lead
I don't know how it ends
Comes a time when you answer: Do it with heart
Want you to express yourself, not let it get to your head
You won't let me go astray
You will let me find my way
You, you led me the way
You stay
