[Verse 1]
Quiet hours

Waiting for you with my arms stretched open wide
Now come inside
[Chorus]
And everything I know just fades away
And every time you go, it hurts me so
I don't know why when I know we're free
We're free to fly
[Chorus 2]
And everything I know just fades away
And when a wildflower grows, it picks its space
And that's the way it is, when nature plays
Its lovely hand
We'll understand
Everything
[Outro]
Everything
Everything
