Lyrics
the morning came as many have come
met in the middle of a six-week run
10 years divided but never apart
maybe a fire should finally come of the spark
a year had passed us with nothing changed
some plants had died in the neighborhood heat wave
it wasn't odd for her to be late
but for some reason this didn't feel the same
a little window, inside a cross
we couldn't wait to tell everyone
yeah it was early but we didn't care
who's feeling heavy when you're lighter than air?
pass the baton we carry
from who we were to who we will be
are we running or waiting?
I was an immediate nutritionist
we upped our proteins and antioxidants
soaked in magnesium, tried to relax
tried not to say names but we weren't good at that
Chris mailed his book on what to expect
they were on their first and we were next
those first two weeks felt just like a dream
painting the future as if from memory
it was a Tuesday, store was on strike
came back to see the plants coming back to life
I found her kneeling, showed me some blood
wasn't a lot but it must've been enough
the doctor said it was chromosomal
tears in the drive-through before we came home
they never tell you, she'll blame herself
it's powerlessness I've never felt myself
pass the baton we carry
from who we were to who we will be
we're waiting for our rainbow baby
waiting for our rainbow baby
we're waiting for our rainbow baby
