Everything We Make

Everything we make becomes a small part of us
Everything we create
It takes a big part of us
Everything we lose
Everything we ever miss
Keeps a part of us in it
And we keep a part of it too
Every first win every last fail
Every worst sin every exhale
Everything we dream is us
The truest part of us
Everything we love is love
And the best part of us
Every word we speak
Every note we ever sing
They're not only part of who we are
But who we ever want to be

Every first act every last line
Every new play every near rhyme

We all need something
That will get us through the day
And I had this
to comfort me while you were away
To hold on to and one day
That very special day
I would give this gift it to you

All the tears we cry
Become a small part of us
All the laughs and smiles
Make all our tears worthwhile
Every time we kiss
Every time we hold someone
Is a love that never dies
And keeps us movin' on
Every sunrise every gaze met
Every blue sky every last breath
Every new chance every old debt
Every last dance every safe bet
Every hill climb every heartbreak
Every first time everything we make
