lyrics

VERSE 1
You have gotten good at counting
How many days it's been
And good at imagining
How many it will be 'till the end

And what it will be the the end of

You could have given in to doubting
Just waiting 'till when
It all starts happening
Too many attacks for you to defend

But that's not what you're afraid of

And you're not quieting your shouting
You're fighting to win
Bravely banishing
A nightmare curse again and again

You've shown us what you're made of

CHORUS
You're graceful as a bird
Emotions of a willow
As patient as a butterfly
to be well again

PART II / POST CHORUS
A thousand faces in a crowd
But not one in a million understands

A simple wish for a clearer head
A stronger heart and steadier hands


VERSE 2
I can't imagine what you're feeling
But you're not here alone
I'll give you anything
My strength and love my understanding

It's all yours for the taking

Why can't we take the hand they're dealing
And throw it all away
And find a better game
One with a brighter ending

A cure of our own making

CHORUS 2
And then without a word
Your head upon a pillow
A patient with the heart to try
You'll be well again

PART II / POST CHORUS 2
A thousand faces all around
And every one your family

Holding you up above the ground
We'll take you where you need to be

CHORUS 3
And if you haven't heard
Echoing from below
Shouting your name to the sky
You'll be well again

BRIDGE
Again and again I stop to recognize your beauty
The strength in your face when you uphold it like a duty

And I know, we'll look back and laugh that
we lived through the days of sickness
And cry for those that didn't
BUt you're gonna make it
You've shown me what you're made of

CHORUS
You're graceful as a bird
Emotions of a willow
As patient as a butterfly
To be well again.

Graceful as a bird
Emotions of a willow
As patient as a butterfly
You'll be well again
