Jayne's Blue Wish Lyrics

The sky holds all our wishes
The dish ran away with the spoon
Chimney smoke ties the roofs to the sky
There's a hole overhead that's only the moon
Will there ever be a tree grown from the seeds of soul?
Life is a path led only by the light of those I've loved
By the light of those I've loved

Life's a path led only by the light of those I've loved
By the light of those I've loved

"Will there ever be a tree grown from the seeds of soul? Life is a path led only by the light of those I've loved"

The correct lyrics are:

Will there ever be a tree grown from the seeds I've sown? Life is a path lit only by the light of those I've loved.

I have to give a speech in a few weeks on my community volunteerism, and those two lines are the foundation of my entire speech. TW is relating the tree to our legacy. We all wish to leave a legacy for when we are gone, and he is hoping the legacy he leaves is one that is large.

And our life is a path, and when we are around those we love, the path is easier.
