A Slave, a Son Songtext
von Jamie’s Elsewhere

When I continued to run away, what kept me in your hands?!
Did you ever think your flock would stray or that they wouldn′t understand
When you said, "Wait here 'til I return
With our brother that was lost to the ways of the world"?!

Catch me in your arms
Like stars in the eyes of telescopes
And once there, I rest
Never let me go, no
Never let me go

It was your love that said
"You′re no longer a slave, but a son"
It was your love that said
"You're no longer a slave, but a
Son...!
But a son..."!


Catch me in your arms
Like stars in the eyes of telescopes
And once there, I rest
Never let me go, no
Never let me go

What could I learn
By fighting the fire with matches and gasoline?!
Oh, how cruel (cruel!)
And melodramatic are we (are we)
For trying to make sense
To make sense of all of this!

Just don't let me fall back (I swear, I swear, I swear I′ll run to you!)
Through the clouds (to the ground!)

Catch me in your arms
Like stars in the eyes of telescopes
And once there, I rest
Never let me go, no
Never let me go

Catch me in your arms like the stars you hold in your hands!
