the orphan the poet - black & white photography lyrics

[intro]
baby boy, baby boy won’t you grow up so tall?
baby boy, baby boy won’t you grow up so strong?
pick you up on my shoulders and walk down the hall
show you pictures in a frame of myself when i was small

[verse 1]
prodigal by design, we cannot sleep
‘cause the cold creeps inside and into our sheets
be calm son be patient and understand why
turn your head to the birds on a wing passing by

[chorus]
‘cause they’ll come home, son
when the air pulls them in, son
when they’re cold to the bone
they will fly away home

[verse 2]
terrible things have come and stolen my breath
from my lungs and a whisper is all i have left
be calm son be patient and understand why
turn your head to the birds on a wing passing by
your brothers and sisters have spread their wings wide
to beg the air to carry them where the buildings scr+pe the sky
[chorus]
but they’ll come home, son
when the air pulls them in, son
when they’re cold to the bone
they will fly away home

[outro]
don’t you go casting briars and th+rns from your fingers to watch them all grow
i know now as dusk comes we’ll never leave to reap all the seeds that we’ve sown
just know that you are my perfections achieved and you’ll always be
