Black Oak - Glow Lyrics

Some days I forget how fortunate I am
To break my back on these six strings every day
Though my teachers laughed and my fingers fail
You encouraged me to live out the dreams I have
When the stars align in the night's promise
I resolve to find my way through the day
Because you believe I'm more than I am
I can still dream beyond the outline

Oh, the warmth of my blood
In the glow of your love and care
Oh, the breath of my lungs
Is a gift I cannot repay

Somewhere down the line
I saw you must've made yourself a promise
To hold me loose but close enough
For me to thrive in my own time
Were you ever scared or insecure?
When I lost my way and I shut you out
That they'd break my bones
Or even worse
That I'd lose my dreams
And my spirit dulled

I don't know how long I can swim the shoreless seas
When I'm too far gone, I know where to return to

It's always there
Because you keep our lives full
All the gold is in your veins
Though you never show off in any way
Everyone sees you radiate

Oh, the warmth of my blood
In the glow of your love and care
Oh, the breath of my lungs
Is a gift I cannot repay
