Lyrics

The Sum Of Your Parts

I've been shining the flashlight of doubt,
Been hiding my questions all in the dark.
The batteries are almost used up,
I'm anxious for daylight to come.
And burn away the night's despair.
Grow fairytales from dark nightmares.
Woken up by the sound of your voice.
Woken up by the wisdom you proudly share.
Selfless and selfish at once.
All the needs, all the wants, all the cares.
I'm lazy but I'm learning how to let go of my tongue.
And tell you how...
I've been adding up the sum of your parts.
And the total is a full flavored heart.
And I'm ready now to take on the world.
It's simple now a boy and girl.
I'm sorry that it's taken years,
But aren't their years to come?
To tell you how...
I've been adding up the sum of your parts.
And the total is a good place to start.
And I'm ready now to take on the world.
It's simple now a boy and girl
make all the pleasure in the world.
Turn all your worries into plans
and never let go of my hand.
