[Verse 1]
I've seen the sun crash into the ocean
And paint the sky purple and pink
I've seen a star shoot out of the night
And burn up before I could blink
[Pre-Chorus]
Snowflakes and diamonds
Daisies and lightning
We'll never take it all in
[Chorus]
So why do we close our eyes
When we pray, cry, kiss, dream?
Maybe the most beautiful things in this life are felt and never seen
[Verse 2]
I've seen a picture of what this world looks like
Lookin' back down from the moon
Satellite photos like brush strokes and van Goghs
All shades of God's, green and blue

Melting and swirling
Peaceful and twirling
Heaven's already around us
[Chorus]
So why do we close our eyes
When we pray, cry, kiss, dream?
Maybe the most beautiful things in this life are felt and never seen
Never seen

Is the love I feel for you

(Pray, cry, kiss, dream)
(Pray, cry, kiss, dream)
(Pray, cry, kiss, dream)
(Pray, cry, kiss, dream)
(Pray, cry, kiss, dream)
(Pray, cry, kiss, dream)
(Pray, cry, kiss, dream)
[Outro]
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da

An April 2020 Your Life In a Song article quotes Townes saying:
We were all once a little kid, full of wonder and seeing the beauty in anything. We were unafraid to be ourselves, relentlessly willing to dream the craziest of dreams because we weren’t scared of failing, or of what anyone else though...
I had envisioned this song as the closing song to this thematic season of my life. I feel like that wonder and innocence is something to learn so much from. Jay had this idea to bring in this little girl to sing at the end of the record. She was Jason Hall, the engineer’s, daughter and her name is A...
