Truth be told, we are all sons,
Held by what we cannot hold.
Each mercy through the violence,
Of learning and then letting go.
Child, I am not a hero,
And soon you will learn the truth,
Lifting yourself from the rubble,
I'm just a child too.
An illusion, that you fashioned,
So noble, so sparkling a thing.
But the day comes, when you'll see me,
As the ruined old fool I've always been.
Child I am not a hero,
It's time that you learn the truth,
Lifting yourself from the rubble,
I'm just a child too.
Child I am not your hero,
And soon you will learn the truth,
Lift yourself up from the rubble,
You see, I'm just a child too.
