Child, you'll 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're 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
