Lyrics:
Out of nowhere
You came
From a little dust
And a little rain
And when I looked down at
Your face
It showed to me
The truth and grace
I will always try to keep you very safe
So open up your eyes
So they can look in mine
And see a small reflection
And when you close your eyes
I pray the thoughts inside
Are beautiful and true
I won't always
Be this strong
And I won't always
Be the one
To kiss the bruise
Or heal the scrapes
To wipe the tear drops
From your face
But I will always love you more each day
I will always love you more each day
I will always try to keep you safe
I will always
I will always ... love you
Behind the Song:
"As a young mother you feel invincible. You feel like you will see your children grow old and not miss a thing. You forget that at some point, you won't be there any more. During the writing process of "Blink" I had a friend lose both his mother and father in a fatal car accident. He and his wife, newlywed, were paralyzed emotionally by the sudden loss. I wrote this the day after the accident from the perspective of the mother who died... what she might say to her son if she could, that although she is no longer here to kiss the bruise or heal the scrape, she will always love him and he can take that with him forever. Always." - Plumb
