When I continued to run away, |
|
What kept me in your hand. |
|
Did you ever think your flock would stray, |
|
Or that they wouldn't understand |
|
When you said, "wait here, |
|
'Til I return |
|
With your brother that was lost |
|
To the ways of the world" |
|
It was your love that said |
|
"You're no longer a slave, |
|
But a son" |
|
It was your love that said |
|
"You're no longer a slave, |
|
But a son" |
|
But a son |
|
Catch me in your arms |
|
Like stars in the eyes of telescopes, |
|
And once there I rest, |
|
Never let me go. no, |
|
Never let me go |
|
What could I learn |
|
By fighting the fire with matches and gasoline. |
|
Oh how cruel |
|
And melodramatic are we, |
|
For trying to make sense |
|
To make sense of all of this. |
|
When I hear you calling |
|
I swear! I swear! I swear I'll run to you! |
|
Just don't let me fall back through the clouds. |
|
(Through the clouds) |
|
Catch me in your arms |
|
Like the stars you hold in your hand. |
