How Can We See That Far

We said our promises by candle light
You held my hands
I was dressed in white
We were young
How can we see that far?
I knew i wanted you like no one else
I told my momma that i found myself in your eyes
How can we see that far?
How can we see that far?
But like you 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 into it will drive our fears away
And then i woke you in the dead of night
To hold my hands
Push away the fright
Life had come
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 might wind that knocks us down if we lean into will drive our fears away
We might die
We might live
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
Ohh, and i cannot look 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 might wind that knocks us down if we lean into will drive our fears away
How can we see that far?
Gotta lean into it
Will drive our fears away
It's the same sun, yeah
And the same rain
