It's a shame you're not here On the cross in my ear Hearing things loud and clear Come outside have no fear And clear the smoke, get some fresh air Someone waits, someone cares In the broad light of day trouble seems so far away At the top of the day when the reign sways Lose the cradle chain, give it up, give it a name The child that remains, nothing's lost Take these chains, take them away Please don't ask me how I am A little tired, a little scared I'm not amused, not upset Don't need a leash I'm not your pet So loosen up, feel the breeze Let me hear, hear you breathe It's better than, bitter now When you breathe I love that sound But you know I'll look after you like no one Lose the cradle chain, give it up, give it a name The child that remains, nothing's lost Take these chains, take them away If I die before I wake, light a fuse, bake a cake I don't mind if I go, make it quick, don't be slow But you know I'll remember you like no one Lose the cradle chain, give it up, give it a name The smile that remains will take these chains away
