Bring Him the Sun

"Bring Him the Sun"

He was all quiet in his pain
and I could hear it
from his soul
He was all shelterd by his frame
his body breaking
and unwhole
and they were all laughing in the corners
as he gave his final speech
when they'll all close the shutters
and his eyes will never reach
the sun

He was all whispers through his mouth
and I could feel the pain
from his lips
His hopes and dreams were leaving to the south
and I could see the drain
put upon him
and they were taking trains to the north
as he waved his final goodbye
well they never saw his worth
nor heard that solemn lonely cry
for the sun

So bring him the sun and let it shine
Somebody tell that boy he will be fine, he will be fine
and don't you let them shut the door on his future
and his life
and keep those damned windows open
he needs to see the light
of the sun

He was all choked sobs in the night
and I could feel his pain
through the walls
Dreaming of the world bathed in bright
take away all the shame
and hear his calls
but they were busy laughing in their joys
as he was trying to cope inside
and every little moment passed behind their noise
was the longing to open his arms wide
to the sun

So bring him the sun and let it shine
Somebody tell that boy he will be fine, he will be fine
and I won't let them shut the door on his future
or his life
I'll keep those damned windows open
he needs to see the light
of the sun
I'll bring him the sun

So he'll never curl into the darkness there
And he'll never whisper prayers to the air
His voice can ring out across the brightest sky
And I'll not let that wave be his final goodbye
So he'll never double over sobbing grief
As his body shakes alone grasping his knees
I'll be the one to open windows on his soul
And take his fragile wounds and make him whole

So bring him the sun and let it shine
Somebody tell that boy he will be fine, he will be fine
and I won't let them shut the door on his future
or his life
I'll keep those damned windows open
he needs to see the light
of the sun
I'll bring him the sun
Yes I said I'll bring him the sun
I'm here to help him reach towards the sun
Somebody help the boy feel the sun
Save him and we'll bring him the sun
