Jamie's Elsewhere

A Slave A Son
When I continued to run away What kept me in your hands? 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? 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! It was your love that said, You're no longer a slave, but a son What could I learn By fighting the fires With matches and gasoline? Oh how cruel and melodramatic are we For trying to make sense Of all of this! Just don't let me fall back Through the clouds, to the ground Catch me in your arms, like the stars You hold in your hands From Letras Mania
