To Be A Child

I would like to be a child again
I have lost all recollection of what it was like

To scream for my fathers hands
To pick me up and lift me into the clouds
To cry for his chest
To press my cheek against
To be a child

I would like to fall into billows of everything I cannot remember
Every place I will go I'll take a piece of it with me
I will protect each one and keep them mine
I will not die and leave them alone
Because they will then they will forget

They will have mechanical failures inside of them
They will ask to be children again
To be pieces of something bigger
They will cry out for their fathers
To hold them during the night

But they will have no chest to rest their cheeks on
And they will become parts of the billows
People will fall into them
Asking for a chance to convince them that they had a past
These pieces will cry with us

We want to be children again
