If he could breathe then he would feel so well

And not locked up inside this prison cell

Another accident complacency

And now hes questioning a truth believed

A precious memory from so long ago

Push come to shove and now he wont let go



And he sees this world through cellophane eyes

Its almost like he can feel my lies



So please youre not alone

I caught him out in the freezing snow

Ive been his friend

Its hard to tell

Youre hardly old enough, so teach him well



In agony a mother seeking help

A son astray as far as I can tell

A month is gone without a word to speak

Afraid and lonely on this windy street

Saving face and shame from strangers by

The choice is made and only God know why



And he sees this world through cellophane eyes

Its almost like he can feel my lies



So please youre not alone

I caught him out in the freezing snow

Ive been his friend

Its hard to tell

Youre hardly old enough, so teach him well



So please dont leave its your eyes, theyre deceiving you

For all eternity, the truth revealed in you

For all eternity, the truth revealed in you (repeat)



So please youre not alone

I caught him out in the freezing snow

Ive been his friend

Its hard to tell

Youre hardly old enough, so teach him well

Teach him well.
