Written by Leigh Harrison © APRA 2002

lyrics

My life was a path that too many feet had trod
When you found me and stretched out your heart
You offered no platitudes, you took no offence
As you rebuilt what life shook apart
I could never repay you, and all you would say was "hush"

As you lay down beside me and opened your arms
And your touch loved the hurt from my soul
Then you held me against you and blessed all my dreams
'Till the promise of dawn warmed the sky

It was fragile at first like the new buds of spring
But we nurtured our freedom from fear
And you helped us to grow past the pain and regret
To a place where our future seemed clear
And whenever I fell down, you would lift up my head and say "hush"

The years have been rocky and life has been hard
And in sorrow and selfishness we've drifted apart
Now we feed off our fears and we fight what we feel
Yet when I see your pain, all my heart wants to say is "hush"
