No

You're not allowed to be

From a different world

Than mine

You have to know

The way that my sun shines

You have to feel the water

The way I feel it on my tongue

You have to let me

Sing my song tonight

And listen carefully for the breeze to rise

And listen closely to the buzzing in my ears

And treasure my dreams like a golden prize

And touch my sadness until you feel my tears

You're not allowed

To be like the birds

That flock away

From cold and rain

If you knew love

You'd hold my hand

If you knew life

You'd treasure every last one

Every last one of the grains of my sand
