I took the white from the clouds, the blue from the sky.
I took eternity from the seas, I gained hope from your eyes.
I took the light from the stars, the news from the birds.
I took advice from my mother, faith from God
I wrote this song for you
I took loneliness from the nights, hope from the mornings.
I listened to the voices, I took heart.
I took a song from the tears, fear from the dark.
I put some sadness in it, turned it into a song.
I wrote this song for you.
