[verse] Driven by a scene in some recurring dream haunted by a song that you've known all along springtime's early air promised it would share the secrets of all life that hid beneath the winter's glare beholden to a goal held just outside your reach the lessons that you learn, you'll learn best as you teach her mother's holy arms enslaved to tyrant charms mobilized by minor cries through countless false alarms [chorus] and when you met, you knew that this child that she grew would live within the confines of the lines that you drew but you learned a new truth that you were not immune to the percentages and chances they hid from you [verse] and along the way we found we weren't alone more questions than answers from the chorus that had grown the tortured sleepless nights the confusing curse's blight faded in the dawn by the gift of another's light [pre-chorus] [chorus] and when you met, you knew that this child that she grew would live within the confines of the lines that you drew but you learned a new truth that you were not immune to the percentages and chances they hid from you [end]
