Something In You

When I saw you you sat
At the edge of a road
I knew not where you came from
Or where you would go
But I thought for a moment
I'd like to come too

In that moment, I know
I saw something in you.

But I'm bound to this place
Bound to these people
Like a rope in the waves
Keeps vessel from see
Though this feeling may fade
Like others before

There will always be something
There'll always be more.

We may not be forever
Or even for long
But whatever we are
We could both be it strong
There was something in you
I saw in that evening
Some kind of truth
Like two prayers were meeting
Something in you
Something familiar
Something that heals
That could break, or fulfill you
Something in you.

When I saw you, you sat
A book in your hands
Didn't ask for attention
You earned it instead
There was something so peaceful
Gentle and firm

It was something you offered
I had to return.

We may not be forever
Or even for long
But whatever we are
We could both be it strong
There was something in you
I saw in that evening
Some kind of truth
Like two prayers were meeting
Something in you
Something familiar
Something that heals
That could break, or fulfill you
Something in you.

Something in you.
