The Son

I wish I could be nearer to the star up there This world makes me cry And it's getting too much to bear When the footsteps follow And all around you seem so hollow You'll hear it in the night Surrender your faith Remember your name For I am the son Whatever you do Remember your name Lest your time is done I wish I could see the son But my eyes are just too small I wish I could feel that love But my heart is just too cold I could turn, back to this place in a thousand years No change, just the same Same old scars, the same old fears But if you look closer, you'll see what you want to see That of this world I am so scared As all these roads must lead somewhere Even through my despair, as the moon skims the Thames It only reveals me to you And my frozen eyes, my solemn thoughts, I am petrified Could this be the death of you and the death of me Baby we shall see I wish I could see the son But my eyes are just too small I wish I could feel that love But my heart is just too cold I wish I could see the son But my eyes are just too small I wish I could feel that love But my heart is just too cold You gotta help me man I just can't see it Nowhere man I can't see it all I just can't see it
