Brian Mathew - Sierra's Song Lyrics

In New Mexico sun mist
Down an orphaned alley
You were born to savannah streets
Shock of green fightin' pavement chinks
Then some safety in capture
Uniformed love and rations of life
There was something alive in your pitiful eyes
I had never seen before but somehow recognized
Now
I love you like a loved one
Protect you like a truth
Watch over you like a spirit
Provide for you like youth
I play instinct like your sibling
Talk to you like myself
Make a love letter parting
When I'm just stepping out
One for sorrow, two for joy
What we have time cannot destroy
In the meadows of sheets
Under fingerprint scent rooms keep
You were home right away
My companion, my aide
But the food chain shackles
Still screamed and weighed
And the echoes of a stray
Ring sequels untamed when they resonate
Still
I love you like a loved one
Protect you like a truth
Watch over you like a spirit
Provide for you like youth
I play instinct like your sibling
Talk to you like myself
Make a love letter parting
When I'm just stepping out
One for sorrow, two for joy
What we have time cannot destroy
Time machine daydreams
Sometimes flicker your death
It's the strangest method
Of counting my blessings
But I learned as a victim
Too young to shoulder shields of wisdom
Love as the loved are
Not as they're pictured in your heart
Always
I love you like a loved one
Protect you like a truth
Watch over you like a spirit
Provide for you like youth
And I know you like I'm wild
Guard you like belief
I begged for you as a child
Now I share with you like a thief
One for sorrow, two for joy
What we have time cannot destroy
One for sorrow, two for joy
What we have death cannot destroy
Wake me up
You're the brightness before the morn
Wake me up
You're the brightness before the morn
Wake me up, wake me up
You're the brightness before the morn
Wake me up, wake me up
You're the brightness before the morn
