lyrics

When you were a little boy
You had thoughts and love and toys
You had your whole life to live
You had one good life to give

When you were a day old
I held your body as it grew cold
I felt your bones they were growing old
In time your soul will be sold

You feet were raised high on a bed in the sun
From all around they came to see the one
Who gave them hope and controlled their dreams
It wasn’t long until you stole their screams

On the day that you died
We held your body and stayed inside
Until we saw that we were wrong
Your lungs were swallowing air all along

They fed you water and gasoline
Lit you on fire so punishing
You had a hand and a fist to raise
With tongue unswirling a sanctioning

We hid you underneath the earth for a while
While there your body grew and changed somehow
When you came back you were now everywhere
Into our lungs we breathe you are the air

On the day that you died
We held your body and stayed inside
Until we saw that we were wrong
Your lungs were swallowing air all along
