in your eyes
I can see eternity
I can the future shining back at me, bright and full of promise
soft
In my dreams I hear you crying again
you don't understand yet
this is a cruel world and cold
full of good intentions
with the best intentions I helped you into this world
I will guard you and protect you
keep you safe against the insincere smiles of strangers
until you're ready to run
I only pray that the stumbles and scrapes that you encounter along the road
are minor and easily fixed
I'd do you a disservice if I kept you in a bubble...
