And did you think
I wouldn’t care,
To watch you burn
What I’d lain there,
Or did you think
I wouldn’t see,
With my hands tied
And yours set free?
I took a seed
In time a spark,
And drew from night
Light from the dark.
I grew the Earth
Above it all,
A place for dreams
To catch your fall.
Upon the green
Deep in the blue,
I fashioned life
And all things new.
I birthed the tree
The vale and hill,
The swirling tide
And night so still.
And when I held
It in my hand,
I breathed you life
To nurture land.
I gave you all
In faith and trust
A wasted gift
You turned to dust.
And did you think
I wouldn’t care,
To watch you burn
What I’d lain there,
Or did you think
I wouldn’t see,
With my hands tied
And yours set free?
