AMY GRANT - HOW CAN WE SEE THAT FAR lyrics

We said our promises by candlelight

You held my hands, I was dressed in white

We were young

How can we see that far?

How can we see that far?

I knew I wanted you like no one else

I told my momma that I'd found myself

In your eyes

How can we see that far?

How can we see that far?

But like your daddy said

The same sun that melts the wax can harden clay

And the same rain that drowns the rat will grow the hay

And the mighty wind that knocks us down if we lean to it

Will drive our fears away

And when I woke you in the dead of night

To hold my hands, push away the fright

Life had come, a son

How can we see that far?

How can we see that far?

Yeah, we were nervous and a little scared

Until the music of our baby's cry

Filled the air

How can we see that far?

How can we see that far?

But like your daddy said

The same sun that melts the wax can harden clay

And the same rain that drowns the rat will grow the hay

And the mighty wind that knocks us down if we lean to it

Will drive our fears away

We might die, we might die

We could hurt each other badly

Do things, things so hard to forgive

Ooh, and if time is not our friend

Your mind might forget me before the end

And oh, I cannot, I cannot look that far

But like your daddy said

How can we see that far?

The same sun that melts the wax can harden clay

And the same rain that drowns the rat will grow the hay

And the mighty wind that knocks us down if we lean to it

How can we see that far?

Gotta lean to it

Will drive our fears away

It's the same sun, yeah

And the same rain

It's the same sun

And the same rain
