Lyrics
Well I asked for shining diamonds, you gave me coal and two warm hands,
Then I suggest a pearl of wisdom, and you trust me with a single grain of sand.
Knowing I could love them more If I had a part in their unfolding
You show me how the greenest spring
Is just a winter day melted in my holding.
And I keep asking for beautiful things to love
And you give me things to love into beautiful.
I begged you for a priceless painting
You placed the colors and a brush into my hand
I plead to feel a shower of blessing
And then I waited for the rainclouds to descend.
But you knew that I'd love them more if I had to wait upon your timing.
And I'm content with dusty clouds when all you have for me is silver lining.
And I keep asking for beautiful things to love
And you give me things to love into beautiful.
I will love into beautiful...
