Let me give you the view
Of the trees from below
So that you might watch
Their branches blow
Not worrying that the leaves might fall
Or that the trees might one day
Not be there at all

Let us press our faces
Firm to the ground
Where giraffes and lions
And fables abound
A jungle of innocence all around
So that you might not know
That the hurt and the haunted
Will eventually roam
Or that you might come to decipher
A roar from a groan

Let us walk and walk
Like we’ve no place to be
So that you might choose the path
Only a child can see
Not shy of his freedom
Or the possibility
That yours is whatever you want it to be

Let me give you the voice
Of a man you accept
Let my words be love
Floating over your bed
So that you might never come to regret
Who you became
Not wondering if you were ever heard
Or if what you said was too absurd
For the ears of the world
To hear

Let us cuddle like bears
Tucked away from the winds
Snug in the shelter we built from within
So that you might be brave
Where I have not been
Never worried that others
Could ever break in
To our shared heart
