lyrics

A boyish bundle glitters in both eyes
As big hands lift him high in the sky
And he’s sure he could reach
The top of the highest cloud

A soft and patient voice sings songs of old
To distract from such cold, hurt souls
To preserve what is pure for one more day
And maybe just a little part of him will stay

October leaves transform his world into a magic dream where he can safely land
Soaring, swerving, mighty hand in hand
Unaware that the world must change and purify
That winter’s death brings the newness of life
But when that box is opened and his heart is broken
Be there; you’ll be there

And as he grows and learns to take his heart in his own hands and give to one he trusts
Reckless, saneless as young lovers must
Unaware that the soul is fragile and the heart untame
That the first love is an unhappy game
But when that box is opened and his heart is broken,
Be there, You’ll be there

As he leaps into the world so bold with confidence that they will all take note
Naively he tries to stay afloat
Unaware that a path in stone is very rarely set
That to adjust bears no need for regret
But when that box is opened and his heart is broken
Be there, You’ll be there

And when he’s grown and gone off to be one
Together with the heart he won
And they look on the soul entrusted unto them
He’ll think how you were there and know where to begin…
