Child, you know in time to go
And you try because you know that it matters
But you stumble on broken ladders
And it's easier to turn back and go home

Child, I know you closer now
And I don't want to see you go
But I'd kind of like to know
If I asked you to stay
What would you say?

From private monopolies
From public domain
I wanted to keep you away
And in an area
A safe haven
Your own zone
