There is a long invisible thread

That wraps around my heart

And wraps around your head

It tightens its grip

When things go unsaid

And I can't break free

Let go, let me

Little boy, break free

Leave him out on his own

Let him find his way home

Can't take all this pain on his shoulders Only weighs you all down when you're older

Let him run, let him fly

If you love him, then don't cry tonight

Let him learn all he can

So when he comes home to you

He'll be a better man

There is a long invisible thread

That wraps around my heart

And wraps around your head

It tightens its grip

When things go unsaid

And I can't break free

Lord above, can you hear my prayers

If you know the answer, then make me aware

How to still love him and how to still care And how to stay strong when I want to be over there

Do I run, do I fly?

How can I love him and keep my eyes dry Do I learn all I can

So when he comes to home

I'll be a better man

There is a long invisible thread

That wraps around my heart

And wraps around your head

It tightens its grip

When things go unsaid

And I can't break free

There is a long invisible thread

That wraps around my heart

And wraps around your head

It tightens its grip

When things go unsaid

And I can't break free

There is a long invisible thread

That wraps around my heart

And wraps around your head

It tightens its grip

When things go unsaid

And I can't break free

And I can't break free

And I can't break free
