Someone Like You

Little child

She’s having fun on her own

Lost in her stories

on some bedding catching sun

At the window

She smiles at something only she knows

And while she is whole

How would she know

Someone like you will make her strong, make her weak

True surrender in interdependency

Someone like you will make her strong

So won’t you lean on me

Little child

Now she’s alone and afraid

She’s lost herself in hiding but soon to be found by trees of the neighbourhood

She cries at something only she knows

And while she is whole

How would she know

Someone like you will make her strong, make her weak

True surrender in interdependency

Someone like you will make her strong

So won’t you lean on

Won’t you lean on

So won’t you lean on me

Love asks me to be

Everything I’d like to be and all I’ve ever been

To be kind

Like a fire that bleeds

Boundlessly blind

How would she know

Someone like you will make her strong, make her weak

True surrender in interdependency

Someone like you will make her strong

Someone like you

Someone like you

Someone like you

Someone like you…
