When I continued to run away

What kept me in your hand

Did you ever think your flock would stray

Or that they wouldn't understand

When you said wait here

'Til I return

With your brother that was lost

To the ways of the world

It was your love that said

You're no longer a slave

But a son

It was your love that said

You're no longer a slave

But a son

But a son

Catch me in your arms

Like stars in the eyes of telescopes

And once there I rest

Never let me go

No

Never let me go

What could I learn

By fighting the fire with matches and gasoline

Oh how cruel

And melodramatic are we

For trying to make sense

To make sense of all of this

When I hear you calling

I swear I swear I swear I'll run to you

Just don't let me fall back through the clouds

Through the clouds

Catch me in your arms

Like the stars you hold in your hand
