Raise Well

As you are
 As I am
 Imagine her face
 Imagine his tiny hands
 Take my words, and hold them under the waves
 I promise you they will float away
 In a storm, are my shoulders strong?
 When my will is weak
 when the nights are long
 I wanna make love
 And come out of my shell
 I wanna rise up
 I want our family smell
 Yeah, I wanna raise well
 Figure out, desperately
 I wanna love as we fail
 As we fall to our knees
 Make it up, set fire to the plans
 Just like everyone else since life began
 I wanna make love
 And come out of my shell
 I wanna rise up
 Yeah I wanna raise well
 I wanna be tough
 But be a real soft cell
 I just wanna raise love
 I don't wanna raise hell
 I just wanna raise well
 I just wanna raise well
