Four Years

He met a girl four years ago
He knew her like he knew himself
he fell with conviction, but not too easily
She wished, his love was hers to keep.
But it wasn't enough for him to have her
He never woke up, there'd always be others
Had so much to give but time waits for no one
You don't believe me, but I think he's grown.
There's a new light coming
A new day for them
Ask for an answer and it will arrive
There's new light coming.
He was a brave fighter
He had all this heart
And discipline would save him from falling apart
But these hours in the morning, he finds them so hard
He dreams that he's open,
And now he's sailed on
He's sailing on.
There's a new light coming
A new day for them
Ask for an answer and it will arrive
There's new light coming.
he realized, he's growin' up,
He can do anything with it
He realized, he's growin' up - he can do anything well.
He knows there's a difference in walking away
We don't always know exactly what to say
we say it anyway...
There's a new light coming
A new day for them
Ask for an answer and it will arrive
There's new light coming
There's a new light coming
A new day for him
Ask for an answer and it will arrive
There's new light coming.
he realized, he's growin' up
He can do anything with it
He realized, he's growin' up - he can do anything well.
