Close your eyes, let the music lie down beside you and stroke your hair
Father’s lies left you lonely, is there anyone to care
Tu t’exprimes newborn blind-ly, in fits and starts all too rare
Country boy, grab a hold of my voice and take it on down there
Where you scream, where you cry
Where you never cease to wonder why the world ain’t what they tell you it is
When you dream, do you fly?
You’re my leader, you’re my son, and you’re not the only one.
Is your skin thick as rock alongside cliffs that face the sun?
Do your cells have a memory of when the world had just begun?
Deep beneath, when the earth shakes, are you all or are you one?
Do you decide when to suffer or when learning must be done?
Do you scream? Do you cry?
Do you never cease to wonder why the world ain’t what they tell you it is?
When you dream, do you fly?
You’re my leader, you’re my son, our exchange has only just begun.
Off again, like a wild rover, not a string can hold you down,
So many ways to slip and slide along, your soul will not be bound
Roaring loud, the waves are beating my drum invisible like a sound
Count to 14 when you hug me goodbye, the loving waves abound
Make me scream, make me cry
Make me keep my heart open wide to the world in all its splendour and bliss
When we dream, do we fly?
Will you meet me there, my sun; your healing rays will melt my worries down to none.
