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
