The Son

I wish I could be nearer to the star up there
This world makes me cry
And it's getting too much to bear

When the footsteps follow
And all around you seem so hollow
You'll hear it in the night

Surrender your faith
Remember your name
For I am the son
Whatever you do
Remember your name
Lest your time is done

I wish I could see the son
But my eyes are just too small
I wish I could feel that love
But my heart is just too cold

I could turn, back to this place in a thousand years
No change, just the same
Same old scars, the same old fears

But if you look closer, you'll see what you want to see
That of this world I am so scared
As all these roads must lead somewhere
Even through my despair, as the moon skims the Thames
It only reveals me to you
And my frozen eyes, my solemn thoughts, I am petrified
Could this be the death of you and the death of me
Baby we shall see

I wish I could see the son
But my eyes are just too small
I wish I could feel that love
But my heart is just too cold

I wish I could see the son
But my eyes are just too small
I wish I could feel that love
But my heart is just too cold

You gotta help me man
I just can't see it
Nowhere man
I can't see it all
I just can't see it
