leave him as a boy
his laugh divides the day in two
let him dream of birds
i wish i was more like him
instead i'm shaking in the sun
he came in a wave
his wings were full of songs
white and unafraid
i wish i had known him then
i wish i was more like him
anyway i'd love to see you there
outside that place someday
and secure i hope to see you there
outside yourself someday
anyway i hope i see us there
outside that place someday
and secure i'd love to see us there
outside ourselves
someday
