In a Room
Tonight the road seems too long
to begin
But tomorrow, you’ll believe
Tonight these walls are closing in
But tomorrow, you will leave
And all the dreams that you’ve kept so long
Will see the light of day
And I can’t be sad, no it would be wrong
But if I could have my way
I would put you in a room
I would keep you safe and warm
Every day I’d share the sun with you
And protect you from the storm
I would hold you in my arms
I would keep you close to me
And no one would ever hurt you
No one would ever see
If only you could still be free
Tonight you’re all of the songs I’ve played
But tomorrow, just my friend
As you walk away, I will watch you fade
Down the path without an end
I won’t stand and wait to see you wave
Or follow where you go
And I hope you find what you’re looking for
I hope you never know
That I’d keep you from the path
And wherever it may lead
I would take away the open road
And I’d give you all you need
I would put you in a room
That was filled with love and grace
Where you could always see tomorrow
And I could always see your face
If only this world had such a place
