• Brothers shy away
    From their fathers hand
    But don't worry
    I'm building safeland
    One fights back
    Desperate to be free
    But he ends up broken
    Crying on me
    Shy and hurt, the other is
    His desperate soul is no longer his

    Don't try to be strong
    Little one
    Soon there will be
    A place where you and I and he
    Can be safe from all these scary things

    She tries to explain
    That he’ll be safer with her
    But rules don't sit well
    And she’s not his mother
    So he changes his fate
    But not only his own
    Believing he
    Has finally grown
    Though he doesn’t quite get it
    One mistake is all it takes
    To change his fate again
    When he’s lost his common sense

    Don't try to be strong
    Little one
    Soon there will be
    A place where you and I and he
    Can be safe from all these scary things

    He hides behind me
    Running from her addiction
    Running from his prison
    Searching for love in empty shells
    People who would never accept him
    If they knew
    But who am i?
    To try to lie, and say that they don't bother me
    But still I remain quietly
    Silently calling him to me
    To be safe from all these scary times
    Tired, sick, and helpless to whine

    Don't try to be strong
    Little one
    Soon there will be
    A place where you and I and he
    Can be safe from all these scary things
