Lyrics:
Everyone's waiting, everyone's waiting to see what you have become, the beautiful boy, you, the beautiful one. Everyone's crowding and craning, stretching up on their toes to see the beautiful grow, to see the life that you own, to say, "The promise you are..."
But I remember when there were the wars without reason, and I bereaved them, and I recall the wound that taught you to fight. Tell me, tell me, can you feel that look of Spiderman falling and falling in muscles of shoulders over me tonight?
When from the porch door your name sent, on nights when summer filled sky, you saved the world with your hands. You answered mom by and by. Now, I have sat here and pondered what fear could capture that child. Was it the years that you passed, or was it they passed you by, and do you wonder sometimes?
Machines that echo in cold rooms scream when your brother died, and all of the fights in your mind were soon reconciled. Your father fled from the altar. Will he come to this feast? -while you, all alone in the world, tremor and grieve. Will you save some for me?
I am the one in the white dress you won because you could fly. I'm trading in my aloneness for a costume with wings. I know that you will remember. I've seen you wide-eyed and still. The year that fell in December has given birth again.
Well I remember when there were the wars without reason, and I bereaved them, and I recall the wound that taught you to fight. Tell me, tell me, can you feel that look of Spiderman falling and falling in muscles of shoulders over me tonight?
