Have you ever held your hand still
Just above a river’s passing water
Liquid rushing by reaching for your skin
Jumping up; eager to commune with you
Beckoning you to dip a finger in

Innocence is lost
Reality sets in

Chilhood is over
now the pain begins

Promises are broken
here comes all the tears

No more smiles of happiness
Show me all your fears

Tell me what's inside you
Tell me what you see

Do you think your normal?
Or do you feel like me?

They told me it was metal,
but I didn't believe a word.
But now I find it's iron
of the strongest, finest kind.
Ah! Here is my little bellows,
I think I'll melt it down.
