He was born in a town filled with athletes and fields
Where a sensitive soul needs a bodily shield
His shell was a prison with bars that don't yield
To the beauty he pictures inside

He decided one day to go outside and play
The boys talk a big talk with their guns on display
But he'd brought a paintbrush to the knife fight that day
And the world quickly makes up its mind

So run... run... into the wide open inside
Run... run... into the wide open inside

He tried to keep quiet, he tried to stay sweet
He snuffed out his sparkle to keep himself safe
But soon he would learn even words can have teeth
And they deal a mean blow to the mind

So he boarded a train to the city one night
Swaddled in blankets of concrete and lights
Sheltered by buildings that climbed toward the sky
He'd finally learned how to fly

So step into the cave of your pain and your grief
Climb for a while 'til you find some relief
Go to the place where your song bears its teeth
And bring the thing with you outside
