If he could breathe then he would feel so well
And not locked up inside this prison cell
Another accident complacency
And now heæ¯ questioning a truth believed
A precious memory from so long ago
Push come to shove and now he wonæ° let go
And he sees this world through cellophane eyes
Itæ¯ almost like he can feel my lies
So please youæ®e not alone
I caught him out in the freezing snow
Iæ³e been his friend
Itæ¯ hard to tell
Youæ®e hardly old enough, so teach him well
In agony a mother seeking help
A son astray as far as I can tell
A month is gone without a word to speak
Afraid and lonely on this windy street
Saving face and shame from strangers by
The choice is made and only God know why
And he sees this world through cellophane eyes
Itæ¯ almost like he can feel my lies
So please youæ®e not alone
I caught him out in the freezing snow
Iæ³e been his friend
Itæ¯ hard to tell
Youæ®e hardly old enough, so teach him well
So please donæ° leave itæ¯ your eyes, theyæ®e deceiving you
For all eternity, the truth revealed in you
For all eternity, the truth revealed in you (repeat)
So please youæ®e not alone
I caught him out in the freezing snow
Iæ³e been his friend
Itæ¯ hard to tell
Youæ®e hardly old enough, so teach him well
Teach him well.
