A Stroll In The Park

You've told me your feet, they weigh a ton'
They drag for miles and miles on
They're cinder blocks attached to your ankles
And the soles of your feet feel like they're glued to the floor

I'd wish you wings, but you've been flying all your life
I'd wish you bones, but they've been standing all along

You've told me your mind wanders
And it's hard to hike down that hill
(Down that hill)
It takes a morning just to get it on track
The one you must follow
The one you must follow not to get lost
(To get lost)
Trace it yourself, in your own time (Innit?)

I'd wish you guts, but you've never been one to feel afraid
I'd wish you love
But that's never been a thing that you'd misplace
(you'd misplace)

You've told me how you didn't want to feel exposed
But the sooner you're out, the sooner you will be free
And from that day on
You'll look more kindly on all the days you've faced
All the fears you've tamed
All the seasons sailed and
All the moments traced

I'll give you warmth, but when I'm away, will you seek the light?
I'll take it all apart, only to be washed and sail awide
