Lifted

You didn't raise him
He just grew
You should have known him back then
Before he knew you
You didn't tell him
He just knew
You should have told him back then
Before he told you
These arms are made for lifting
These eyes are meant to see
I hope these words will reach you
Before they walk all over me
How could I be scared of losing
It's never me that does the choosing
Alleviate the muddled senses
No rest for the gifted
I am lifted
