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
