I'm looking for sweet baby son Oh, the coos and softness for which I long All the scars of battle undone Dark corners hide the artist borne And the scholar and the friend Shadows mask the faces worn Until the daylight ends Outside the cage lurks fear you feel With a grinning manic shame With love I lay my hands to heal To end sweet Chesney's pain In dreams I see the one to be Waking in the manchild's mind A wild thing growing strong and free Stand alone, young son, and shine.
