You Touch Me (feat. Rob Fenimore, Kevin McDonald & Steve Matthews)
40 years ago, when I was here
Eyes wide open to all that was new
We followed the maze, looking for the end
Which was only the beginning, all over again
There are holes in life, and tangles in time
Questions and answers that don't always rhyme
Searching all night, sleeping through the day
Going to school to learn how to play
You touch me with your poetry
Your songs, your silence, your anxiety
Your youth that's tired, as it's all so hard
We search through the rubble with a hope that's scarred
You touch me
You touch me
But you're brave, so brave, you laugh and you dance
Try anything if given the chance
You're generous and lonely, loving and afraid
Will tear down the castle just to see how it's made
Every story is a beginning, a middle, and an end
The truth it can tell will always depend
On clarity of premise, a moral foundation
The journey itself is its own revelation
You touch me
You touch me
You touch me
You touch me
I love you in your fragility
Your unfolding gifts and your honesty
I want to tell you it will all make sense someday
But I've got to admit it doesn't happen that way
It doesn't happen that way, but with maturity
You'll learn to embrace the ambiguity
To laugh and cry at the double entendre
The crazy contradictions that we are left to ponder
You touch me
You touch me
You touch me
You touch me
You touch me with your life
Eyes wide open to all that was new
We followed the maze, looking for the end
Which was only the beginning, all over again
There are holes in life, and tangles in time
Questions and answers that don't always rhyme
Searching all night, sleeping through the day
Going to school to learn how to play
You touch me with your poetry
Your songs, your silence, your anxiety
Your youth that's tired, as it's all so hard
We search through the rubble with a hope that's scarred
You touch me
You touch me
But you're brave, so brave, you laugh and you dance
Try anything if given the chance
You're generous and lonely, loving and afraid
Will tear down the castle just to see how it's made
Every story is a beginning, a middle, and an end
The truth it can tell will always depend
On clarity of premise, a moral foundation
The journey itself is its own revelation
You touch me
You touch me
You touch me
You touch me
I love you in your fragility
Your unfolding gifts and your honesty
I want to tell you it will all make sense someday
But I've got to admit it doesn't happen that way
It doesn't happen that way, but with maturity
You'll learn to embrace the ambiguity
To laugh and cry at the double entendre
The crazy contradictions that we are left to ponder
You touch me
You touch me
You touch me
You touch me
You touch me with your life
