Magellan - Look Worried

Fear in a young one with innocence
a crisis I must resolve to handle with
competence
he wants to know if he will be "taken" too
he worried - he asked me point blank
"Will I ever be as old as you?"
He just afraid at a young age
Don't want to leave you at a young age

Son I am sorry that things are not always
the way they appear
and don't you think about it anymore today
we've got plenty of time-so just for now
please-
Keep me in sight - do as I say son
Please remember I can't always be there
so walk fast, look worried.

How did he think of such a question?
I'm sorry I have to be the one
that changes his perception
wish we could keep things just like
we had before - an illusion
The point is our survival is the only thing
we're living for
I'm just afraid at a young age
want to say the right words at a young age......
