I could’ve carried you
to the ends of the Earth
These shoulders are carved
and shaped to be stood upon
I’d have lifted you higher
than the eagles dare soar
far above even the horizon
and the rockets so high into space
But the heights I provided
were too much for one
so sure of and eager to
hiding in the shadows
The light I reflected
left you blinded and lost
You’d much rather burrow
and lie underneath
