Cradling stones hold fire bright 
As crickets call out to the moonlight 
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 

The trees grow so thick
You can barely see through 
But the forest bestows the simplest of truths
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 blue 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
