The boy I was is once again before me
Let him swallow all his fears or take this moment to surrender to affection
An embrace unbidden from a soul I long to hold forever
I have his medicine in my hand and he is mine
A solemn horizon holds my obsolescence
A penitent man will pass where authority drifts away
Be a friend and partner or sit the fuck down, sir
I will lead him til the day he leads me
