You're not ready
For the world outside
You keep pretending,
but you just can't hide
I know I said that I
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 I
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
I
The cries around you,
You don't hear at all
'Cause you know I
To take that call
So you just lie there when
You should be standing tall
But I
I wish I could
Lay your arms down
And let you rest at last
Wish I could
Slay your demons
But now that time has pa**ed
Wish I could stay here
Your stalwart, standing fast
But I'm
Standing in the way
I
In the way
