Lyrics
BLINK
[2025/03/08]
[Verse 1]
You laid them down, tucked them in tight,
whispered a prayer you'd steer them right.
Asked the Lord to guide their way
to walk beside them every day.
[Verse 2]
You held them close, their hand in yours,
Swore to keep them safe and sure.
But looking back, you should have known
You blinked, and now theyve grown.
[Pre-Chorus]
Time moves like a fleeting tide,
Slipping fast, not on your side.
[Chorus]
Blink, and they have grown,
Out in the world, finding their own.
Echoes of laughter fill the halls,
Blink, and they have grown.
[Verse 3]
First, day of school, you watched them go.
Bright eyes shining, hearts aglow.
Balancing wobbles till they stood tall,
You blinked, and that was all.
[Pre-Chorus]
Time wont wait, it drifts away,
Leaving you longing for yesterday.
[Chorus]
Blink, and they have grown,
Out in the world, finding their own.
Echoes of laughter fill the halls,
Blink, and they have grown.
[Bridge]
Now you sit by the phone,
feeling lost and alone
Longing for those moments that felt so small,
time gave you no time at all!
[Chorus]
Blink, and they have grown,
Out in the world, finding their own.
Echoes of laughter fill the halls,
Blink, and they have grown.
[Outro]
Blink, and they have grown,
Yesterday, they were small.
Rewind the moments, watch them play,
But time wont slow at all.
