And so I asked the light of the day, "What's this rush for heaven?"

Got sent home from school today because I was coughing my brains out and had a fever. Guess what day today was? Yeah, that's right AP EUROPEAN HISTORY EXAM DAY. I'm gonna have to get it rescheduled now. Well, I guess... YAY MORE TIME TO PREPARE FOR THAT 5 I WANT TO GET! :D :D :D

Also, Dar Williams is officially one of my new favorite artists.

"The One Who Knows"

Time it was I had a dream,
You're the dream come true.
If I had the world to give,
I'd give it all to you.

I'll take you to the mountains,
I will take you to the sea;
I'll show you how this life became
A miracle to me

You'll fly away,
But take my hand until that day
So when they ask how far love goes
When my job's done,
You'll be the one who knows.

All the things you treasure most
Will be the hardest won
I will watch you struggle on
Before the answers come

But I won't make it harder
I'll be there to cheer you on
I'll shine the light that guides you down
The road you're walking on

You'll fly away
But take my hand until that day
So when they ask how far love goes
When my job's done
You'll be the one who knows

Before the mountains call to you,
Before you leave this home,
I want to teach your heart to trust
As I will teach my own.

But sometimes I will ask the moon
Where it shined upon you last
And shake my head, and laugh, and say
"It all went by so fast."

You'll fly away,
But take my hand until that day
So when they ask how far love goes
When my job's done,
You'll be the one who knows.
