lyrics

Lyrics:

Just a red balloon
In your sister’s hand
Well surprise, surprise
Tugged up in the fan
I wish this could be
The one and only time
Something breaks

You were calling me
With your blocks in hand
You had stacked ‘em see
I’m in adult land
I wish this could be
The one and only time
You feel small


‘Cause with therapy
And forgiving me
You might come to see
Some healing
But the length of it
If we must admit
Is we’re derelicts
And pretenders

You love Peter Pan
And his fairy dust
But your wings don’t work
Like you know they must
I wish this could be
The one and only time
Magic fails

I can’t guarantee
Kinder memories
Though I long to see
Your healing
But the length of it
If we must admit
Is we’re derelicts
And pretenders

We all know the ache
We all know what’s at stake
We’ve braced ourselves for trouble
Precious is the Hand
Holding us to stand
Pulling all His children from the rubble
From the rubble

With the love of God
And the risen Son
I pray you will come
To healing
When your whole world shakes
If His hand you’ll take
All the broken things
Will be mended.
