What Children Do

I’ve spent all my life
Living in your light’s shadow
And I didn’t mind
Despite the chill of your cold

But in a different light
Is how I came to see you
Because I did
What all children eventually do

Where once your silence hurt
I found the pain easy to ignore
I can’t say I now feel warmth
Or all the love I did before

Because in a different light
Is how I came to see you
Because I did
What all children eventually do

Brother in name only
Comrades-in-arms? Sure, why not?
I know where you want me
Another soul to your cause
This isn’t some story
Of Innocence corrupted or lost
This is of you and me
And how we’re so far apart

And in a different light
Is how I came to see you
Because I did
What all children eventually do

I did what all children eventually do
