You are the soul of the cake
We bake on Christmas Eve
We are the growing trees
That won't shed their dying leaves
They only see your colors change when your sheets are stained with ink
The wine in your mouth on the boat that never sinks
Oh it's true
We will make it through
Follow the bird to the nest and see how babies are born
Reach for the sun in your room but never forget your home
Bottle the bees for a day but promise to let them go
I only love the parts of you I think I know
Oh it's true
We will make it through
Yes it's true
All I see is you
