lyrics

Hey Kid by Craig Werth, Feb 2016

hey kid, give it a rest
relax and breathe in the pine trees
you’re gonna burn your heart out
caring so hard

you are not nearly strong enough
to carry the weight of the girls
and the boys
who are not happy enough
or well enough, or safe enough
who won’t ever know your name

hey kid empty your head
just once in a while
smile and be hollow
drown some cookies in milk
hoist up a pirate flag and laugh
and sleep through the night for once
sleep through the night.
