Darling Dear

There's holes in my shoes and there's a light inside of you
I can't quite recognize
Cracks in the sidewalk, children swimming in the leaves
I can't quite recognize

Oh, ya know, let's lay one low in the alley
Where we used to meet
Oh, ya know, let's take it slow
There's room to grow
There's room to grow
There's room to grow

Oh little girl inside of me
I'm sorry for the things you've seen
My baby darling
Nothing hurts quite worse
Than when the ones you love the most
Can't stop their suffering

Oh, ya know, my darling dear
There's a light that takes away all fear
Oh, ya know, my darling dear
It's okay to be happy here
It's okay to be happy!

Are we born with pain and shame and greed
Are we meant to house such suffering?
Tell me what you think
I think we're born to live and love
And count the endless stars above
While we're here

Oh, ya know, my darling dear
There's a light that takes away all fear
Oh, ya know, my darling dear
It's okay to be happy here
It's okay to be happy!
