Jamie's Elsewhere A Slave A Son
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 of all of this?
When I hear you calling I swear,
I swear I'll run to you
Just don't let me fall back through the clouds Catch me in your arms
like the stars you hold in your hand
