Standin' at the edge with the sky still changin'
Oh, American beauty
Climbin' into to bed- little legs akimbo- I can see you're fadin' fast
Faster than the day lasts
And I am your open hand and you are all my strength
I am your finish line and you are my race
I am your quiet place and you are all my wild
I am your parent, you are my child
Mountain of a heart- you're a dweller on the threshold
Oh, the lucky architect
Rest your little head and drift off easy- I can see you're fadin' fast
Faster than the day lasts
I am your open hand and you are my strength
I am your finish line and you are my race
I am your quiet place and you are all my wild
I am your parent, you are my child
And I am your open hand and you are all my strength
I am your finish line and you are my race
I am your quiet place and you are all my wild
'Cause I am your parent, you are my child
I am your parent, you are my child
