Teach Him Well
If he could breathe then he would feel so well
And not locked up inside this prison cell
Another accident complacency
And now he's questioning a truth believed
A precious memory from so long ago
Push come to shove and now he won't let go
And he sees this world through cellophane eyes
It's almost like he can feel my lies
So please you're not alone
I caught him out in the freezing snow
I've been his friend
It's hard to tell
You're 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
He's saving face and shame from strangers by
The choice is made and only God knows why
So please don't leave it's your eyes, they're deceiving you
For all eternity, it's the truth revealed in you
Teach him well.
