You're not ready
For the world outside
You keep pretending,
but you just can't hide
I know I said that Id
Be standing by your side
But I
Your path's unbeaten,
And it's all uphill
And you can meet it,
But you never will
And Im the reason that you're standing still
But I
I wish I could say
The right words
To lead you through this land
Wish I could play the father
And take you by the hand
Wish I could stay here
But now I understand
Im standing in the way
The cries around you,
You don't hear at all
'Cause you know Im here
To take that call
So you just lie there when
You should be standing tall
But I
