"Selah's Song" lyrics

Rough house full of brothers stuck with each other
Fighting for a chair at the table
Dad said lucky 7's coming down from heaven
God knew that we needed an angel

Edges got a little softer, life got sweeter
I was in the middle of it
Didn't have to stop and ponder
Once we'd seen her
What we'd call her

Selah
I've been hoping by tomorrow, I'd be half the role model I should
Be for you, growing up beside each other, I was winter, you were summer
Now we're getting older, wish I told you sooner, but it's still true that
Selah, you're looking up at me, but I'm looking up to you
Selah

Zion in the back, down to Manzanita
Weatherman said it's a bad day
The rain was falling fast, you're joy was through the ceiling
Wish I could see the world that way

'Cause you make all the edges softer
Life gets sweeter when you're in the middle of it
Don't have to stop and ponder
When I need you, I'll just call you

Selah
I've been hoping by tomorrow, I'd be half the role model I should
Be for you, growing up beside each other, I was winter, you were summer
Now we're getting older, wish I told you sooner, but it's still true that
Selah, you're looking up at me, but I'm looking up to you
Selah, Selah

You're on your own chasing dreams
You're doing real good, and you don't need me
I found my life in Tennessee
But a piece of me will always be

Selah
I've been hoping by tomorrow, I could fly to Arizona just to see you
Growing up beside each other, thanking God I'm your brother
Now we're getting older, wish I told you sooner, but it's still true that
Selah, you're looking up at me, but I'm looking up to you

Yeah, I'm looking up to you
You're looking up at me, but I've been looking up to you
