Cradle Chain

It's a shame you're not here

On the cross in my ear

Hearing things loud and clear

Come outside have no fear

And clear the smoke, get some fresh air

Someone waits, someone cares

In the broad light of day trouble seems so far away

At the top of the day when the reign sways

Lose the cradle chain, give it up, give it a name

The child that remains, nothing's lost

Take these chains, take them away

Please don't ask me how I am

A little tired, a little scared

I'm not amused, not upset

Don't need a leash

I'm not your pet

So loosen up, feel the breeze

Let me hear, hear you breathe

It's better than, bitter now

When you breathe I love that sound

But you know I'll look after you like no one

Lose the cradle chain, give it up, give it a name

The child that remains, nothing's lost

Take these chains, take them away

If I die before I wake, light a fuse, bake a cake

I don't mind if I go, make it quick, don't be slow

But you know I'll remember you like no one

Lose the cradle chain, give it up, give it a name

The smile that remains will take these chains away
