If You Let My Heart Stay
today
my son
i
shall demonstrate
kindness of heart
thus
let my heart stay
yet
my only begotten son
but
not let him fly
nor let him stay
too close to the sun
nor
swiftly go to his grave
thus
melt his wings
that
brush too close against
the
golden eyes of the sun
thus
I
want him
to climb the highest mountains
again and again
though
my heart sings out to the earth
oh lord
if you let my heart stay
