Maddox Theory - It Takes Time

Not long ago, I had a little kid,
Who walked the earth so freely and soared above the wind
I feared the end, the end of a life worth living

Years have passed, not many yet not few,
My kid was ill with cancer and I forgot to tell you
You almost missed the funeral, you came just in time to know how I'm feeling

Alas, things take time and time was moving slow,
It hurts me that I'm used to watching my boy grow,
I'm fine, yet so broken, so broken I can't take it anymore

Yes, I want him back, I want him back so bad,
But you can't tell the reaper to give back the soul he had,
I'm not fine, I'm so broken, I'll be in my room crying ever more.

You came to me, with your face soaked in tears,
You hugged me tight and told me "everything will be fine, dear"
I was sure you loved me all over again, for your eyes did the talking

Alas, it takes time, you left us here alone,
But you came back as soon as our boy was too far gone,
I see him in my dreams, I sometimes see him walking here around me

He speaks to me, says nothing but he seems to be alive
Is it his soul, is it him? Does he miss his lovely life?
You see him too, you know, and you tell me that he wants to talk to me

I'm fine, I know he's here, but I wish he spoke one last time to you...

And me.
