KIT HOLMES: Songs and Albums

When I was younger
I considered myself smart
I'd live my life head-first
In matters of my heart
Those who said they
loved me
Lived in fear and sometimes
Lied
They taught me not to
love myself
I kept my dreams inside

Oh, how our lives are changed
When fear becomes the seed
A steady diet of external
Unmet need
Then I caught a glimpse
of love
Through tears that filled
my eyes
In a moment of surrender
Much to my surprise

(Chorus)
I saw the ocean in a raindrop
A desert in a grain of sand
A forest in a an acorn
And the whole world
In my hands
I found the only oasis
That could ever quench
my thirst
When I lived life
Love first

(you don't know, you don't know where love will lead,
you don't know you don't know)

I pulled my dreams out
And I set them side by side
Many to choose from
And not one will be denied
I don't know where love
will lead
But it opens up my eyes
Each moment of surrender
Is such a sweet surprise

(Chorus)

I found the only oasis
That could ever quench
my thirst
When I lived life
Love first
