I hear you with your friends outside
I see you walking through the door
I'd freely give my one last breath
To hold you just once more
People tell me I'm so brave
People ask me to be strong
I fumble through these empty days
Wondering how I'll carry on
For you
You should always come home
You my child
You should always come home to me
They tell me I should give you wings
They tell me spirits never die
In the brokenness of everything
I sit, and wait, and cry
For you
You should always come home
You my child
You should always come home to me
They tell me I should give you wings
They tell me I should let you go
They tell me I should give you wings
But how? I don't know
Someday I might give you
Give you wings
