You Can

You can make me come alive
You can make me die
You can send me underground
You can make me fly
You can open up the world
You can shut it down
You can turn me off and then
You can turn me on
Once upon a time there was a heart
So empty, lost and ready
Ready to allow itself a chance to
Fall in, love and be free
You are why the sun climbs up in the sky
Hoping just to see the twinkle in your eye
That will stay inside the stars, warming up the night
Shining through the dark and turning it to light
You can send me anywhere
You can keep me here
You can make safe and then
You can make me fear
You can make me cold and then
You can make me warm
You can break me down and then
You can give me form
Every single time I look into your
Twinkling, eyes I, come alive
Every time I think I may have slipped
And stopped them shining, I die
You are why the sun climbs up in the sky
Hoping just to see the twinkle in your eye
That will stay inside the stars, warming up the night
Shining through the dark and turning it to light
