about
This is a song that I (ben) wrote for my future wife. I'm not engaged or anything, I just wanted to be prepared.
lyrics
Streets and signs, will show me the way
But only till I have arrived
But there’s a place I only can see
When I close my eyes
And she’s there waiting
And she’s all alone
Home
I want to go Home
And love
I want to be Loved
But ill keep dreaming till all is done
Sweet breeze, flows through her hair
Her eyes cast the sun’s perfect glare
And my face is as course as the sea
In the roughest storm that there’ll ever be.
And the waves crash down
And amidst the white seafoam
All I see is
Home
I want to go Home
And love
I want to be Loved
But ill keep dreaming till all is done
And she’ll be my wife if she don’ know it yet,
And I love her eyes and her perfect silhouette,
And she’ll bear my child and ill protect them both,
And Ill love her
I love her
And Ill love them
I love them
Home,
Perfect home
I wont have to wait no more
And love
Sweet love
Come knock on my door
And wife, whom I love
Will you wait for me, like I wait for you
And child from above
I will give you love and a home.
But only till I have arrived
But there’s a place I only can see
When I close my eyes
And she’s there waiting
And she’s all alone
Home
I want to go Home
And love
I want to be Loved
But ill keep dreaming till all is done
Sweet breeze, flows through her hair
Her eyes cast the sun’s perfect glare
And my face is as course as the sea
In the roughest storm that there’ll ever be.
And the waves crash down
And amidst the white seafoam
All I see is
Home
I want to go Home
And love
I want to be Loved
But ill keep dreaming till all is done
And she’ll be my wife if she don’ know it yet,
And I love her eyes and her perfect silhouette,
And she’ll bear my child and ill protect them both,
And Ill love her
I love her
And Ill love them
I love them
Home,
Perfect home
I wont have to wait no more
And love
Sweet love
Come knock on my door
And wife, whom I love
Will you wait for me, like I wait for you
And child from above
I will give you love and a home.

about
the lilies & sparrows Greer, South Carolina
the lilies and sparrows originated from Ben Patat's acoustic writings while on and off of tour with the band Divide the Sea. The songs are our way of praising God for what he has done for us. He is worthy of all of our praise for the sole reason that He created us, not to mention that He sent His son to die for our sins so that we may be considered righteous through faith. ... more
