[Verse 1]
As you are, as I am
Imagine her face, imagine his tiny hands
Take my words, and hold them under the waves
I promise you they will float away
[Pre-Chorus]
In a storm, are my shoulders strong?
When my will is weak, when the nights are long
[Chorus]
I wanna make love and come out of my shell
I wanna rise up, I want our family smell
Yeah, I wanna raise well
[Verse 2]
Figure out, desperately
I wanna love as we fail, as we fall to our knees
Make it up, set fire to the plans
Just like everyone else since life began
[Chorus]
I wanna make love and come out of my shell
I wanna rise up, yeah I wanna raise well
I wanna be tough, but be a real soft cell
I just wanna raise love, I don't wanna raise hell
I just wanna raise well, I just wanna raise well
