I wanted you to always stay

I should have kidnapped you and ran away

I should have pulled out those wires

and ran until I was tired

Or at least until I reached home

Till you and our family were all alone

I would have given you your own bed

Laid you down and stroked your head

Each of us would say our goodbyes

As slowly you would close your eyes

We would kneel down and say a prayer

And Lord please meet him there
