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
