Blackfield: “Some Day” from Blackfield II

Watching my children, I realize that kids don’t have walls like grown-ups do.
They haven’t learned how to construct shields around them. Nor do they know how to lie, or even pretend.
They just feel everything, and let out everything. Children are like mirrors of their surroundings. You put garbage in, out comes… pain.
When you were a boy
You had no place inside your parents’ world.
You were falling like the leaves
from an old and dying treeYou went to school,
But the teachers made you feel a fool
While the children played with joy
You’re the one who were to avoidSome day you will find a better place to stay
You’ll never need to feel this way again
Imagine, for a moment, that you’re looking at the little you, the 3-year old.
Pick him or her up and gently hold him/her in your arms.
And tell him/her “I love you. You are safe with me.”
