Was it love or recognition that has healed this man's condition?
Oh I'm hoping and wishing that this bird won't fly away.
And we can see life hand in hand
the green, the blue, the rough, the sand
and in our time and in our land, we'll savour every day.

You took me from my bubble knowing my defense was weak,
And you sat there and you listened anytime I chose to speak,
And you gathered from my pleas to you that I am but a clown,
And I fear only a hero can defeat these demons now.
