Shadows on the water from a memory, in times and sight and the last time I saw you happier then not seein' you, not seein' you in a long while All these faces, oh how they adore you with every blessing, every strength of a storm And it seems to me it all worked out so different funny how distance and time, you don't change at all So may your worries, may your worries never fall too loud May you stay here, may you stay here happy in your own skin, on the ninth cloud Oh, to every warning where these ships had passed through, years before Bolder now, than a brand new morning the sun on your face, the bruise and the breaks of these careless arms So hold your body, hold your body strong in these winds of life May I find you, may we sit together when we're gray and old, on cloud nine This life'll move you with every step outside it's alright, it's alright my arms are open wide for you This life'll move you as graceful as a tide oh it's alright it's alright, loosen the fears that bind you, loosen the fears that bind you
