Calling You

You’ve got a story to tell
And a place to come home to
Yet, you choose to hide
Do you feel safer out here
Where no one will be watching
Or do you fear the light
I am calling you
I am watching you
I walk with you
I play like you
Unafraid and blue
I hear them whipping the mule
As they follow the coffin
Destined for the field
The mourners behind
I see you’re walking amongst them
I know you need my voice
All these familiar faces
All gathered around the open mouth
I see your shadow down there
— But then it’s gone
