More than this lyrics

Cradling stones hold fire bright

As crickets call out to the moonlight

And as you lean in to steal a kiss

I'll never need more than this

We all share the pain of our histories

But the ache goes away if you could see

This night under stars, well, I call it peace

If you say I'll never need more than this

And the trees grow so thick

You can barely see through

And the forest bestows

All the simplest of truths

And you think you'll be happy

If granted one more wish

But the truth is you'll never need more

You'll never need more, you'll never need more than this

Want so much in this life, there's so much to be

We sail through our youth so impatiently

Until we see that the years move along

And soldiers and heroes come home and they carry a song

Don't live in forgotten times, may this always remind

You of the sea under the skies through looking glass

Let's make this our story

Let's live in the glory

Time it fades away, precious as a song

'Cause someday we'll be gone

Cradling stones hold fire bright

As we watch the glow of the morning light

Someday our bones here they will lie

And so we sing as the years move along

And soldiers and heroes come home and they carry a song

Let's make this our story

Let's live in the glory

Time it fades away, precious as a song

'Cause someday we'll be gone
