A Slave, A Son

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!
