You Get Brighter

You get brighter every day and every time I see you
Scattered brightness in your way and you taught me how to love you
 
I know you belong to everybody but you can't deny that I'm you
 
In the morning when I wake I moor my boat and greet you
Hold your brightness in my eye and I wonder what does sleep do
 
Krishna colours on the wall
You taught me how to love you
 
Oh wondrous light, light, lighter
You give all your brightness away and it only makes you brighter.
