I'll Name Her Song

I ponder upon the waiting
What could I possibly do or say
To keep you safe
To keep you laughing through the days
To nurture within you
A sense of wrong
A sense of right
Before the world will take your joy away

And I'LL NAME HER SONG
And one day she'll sing along
And some days she'll cry and be lonely
But the melody's just beginning
I'LL NAME HER SONG

Let me apologize in advance
If it seems like I'm struggling
Or not listening... well
It's because I am
And please forgive me for when my failings manifest
To do what's "best"
A question never laid to rest

I'LL NAME HER SONG
And one day I'll sing along
And sometimes I won't have the answers
But maybe we'll learn them together
I'LL NAME HER SONG

There are parts, part of you
I will never understand
For who you are, and who you'll be
Was never truly up to me
So til I die, I'm going to try
Forever staying by your side
No 'mount of shame; to you, I claim
Forgiveness, calling you to change
Because the wonder of time
Is captured
In your eyes

I'LL NAME HER SONG
