-
We’ve all looked into somebody’s eyes
-
And fallen completely in love with him
-
Heard his cries
-
And done all that we can for him
-
But if we really knew what’s best
-
We’d let him go
-
-
There are times when we’ve all despised
-
Another guy for looking too closely at him
-
Stayed up until sunrise
-
To watch over and protect him
-
But if we really wanted him to grow
-
We’d let him go
-
-
Bedazzled by what youth implies
-
We’ve been a comfort and a guide to him
-
Hoping he won’t have a nasty surprise
-
Never the lows, only the highs – for him
-
But if we really wanted him to live
-
We’d let him go
-
-
We’ve thought the foolish man wise
-
When he lied that we should be with him
-
Had late night discussions and theorized
-
Why it’s right to be with him
-
But if you really wanted him to return
-
First you'd let him go
-
-
I saw when I reached into the skies
-
That at the end of the rainbow was a pot of lies
