More Haste - What's the Hurry? Lyrics

Child, where you headed?
There's a sunset 'round the bend
Someone else will plant more flowers
In the garden that you tend
Child, what's the hurry?
You can't take it when you go
So intent on finding finish lines
You don't know where to go

And I'll be
The one that you call yours
I'll be
The one that you call yours
And I'll be
The one that you call yours
I'll be
The one that you call yours

Oh, Child, why the shouting?
Life is quiet most days
Child, I tried to tell you
There's a mind behind your face
So child, please don't cry
I know the tears come so easy
But your pleas for safety don't fall short
And you don't have to please me
Because Child, I'm not leaving
And you can't break the hold
So keep your eyes uplifted
You'll be warm when you get cold

And I'll be
The one that you call yours
I'll be
The one that you call yours
And I'll be
The one that you call yours
I'll be
The one that you call yours
And I'll be
The one that you call yours
I'll be
The one that you call yours
And I'll be
The one that you call yours
I'll be
The one that you call yours
