Well the night was cold and my heart was    Hidden very safely in a shell    But I knew somehow I'd have to run that risk    Have to open up myself    Look at the stars on the face of the sky    They're the same ones Abraham saw    Come under my wings I will make you shine    Give you strength enough to love       Oh, now I'm getting strong enough    You helped me chip my way out and open myself up    And for the snow that comes with winter    For the growth that comes from pain    For the joke I can't remember    Although the laughter long remains    For the faith that brought to finish    All I doubted at the start    Lord, I give you praise for all that makes    For the hatching of a heart       Well my face was smooth and featureless    Just like an egg    And if I was moved you would never guess it    By the look upon my face    But You said man looks without but I look within    I can see the love you hide    It's a matter of doubt it's a symptom of sin    It's a problem of too much pride       And I, now I'm opening up wide    Wet feathers pulled out from beneath me    And You're teaching me to fly    For the strength that comes with friendship    For the warmth that comes with hope    And for the love time can't diminish    And for the time love takes to grow    And for the moonlight on the water    And for the bright and morning star    Lord I give you praise for all that makes    For the hatching of a heart       And for the moonlight on the water    And for the bright and morning star    Lord I give you praise for all that makes    For the hatching of a heart
