If pain is a lesson, is pain a blessing
Because I’m still able to feel
Or should I stay out in orbit
And pretend that none of it’s real

You’ll be on your way this day
You’re free now, you must go
You said, “Baby, I’m gonna leave you”
Sang the tune and played every note

I’m happy for you and all that you’ve found
No more rescues for you to impart
I should have been more careful with you
So fragile was your heart

Poor little baby, fighting the birth
Cling to the womb in the clouds
In terror of crashing, crashing to earth
Where is my rescuer now

Fighting and fearing the churning sea
In anguish, I hurt and I grieve
I should be banging on your door
But I know that’s not what you need

So what can I find in this bottle
I’m sure not afraid to pursue
The waves are crashing against the rocks
See?  I can crumble, too

Keep drowning, keep drowning that pain away
I’m getting a little bit clumsy
You just pulled the wave out from under me
I’ll be drifting, alone, in the sea

Poor little baby. Painful the birth
It’s rosier there in the clouds
Crashing, crashing back down to earth
No one can rescue me now

MellonCollie, I wish I could hear the music!  Wouldn't that be great if my brain got that coordinated?
