Squid Machine

A machine to fly you to the stars
A machine to save your heart from scars
If you can draw me one
Before these days are gone

A machine to dry your eyes from tears
A guiding light for you to fight your fears
O, to build you one of those
I'd pour in my heart, my soul

When the waves all come
And you know they will
Cause they always do
It would come for you
Like you know I would

When the waves all rise
It would pick you up
Lift your head up high
It would stick with you
Keep you safe inside

But remember, people might just say it's strange
That's because they won't believe
What they'll see
You better wave at them
From high above the ground
In your Giant Squid Machine
And you'll be off forever more

Octopus arms of stainless steel
A rib cage filled with turning wheels
A jumbled mess of wires
Fuses, amplifiers

Wings of tin, a lightning bolt
A bent antenna, a telescope
To keep an eye on you
Like I wish I could

When the waves all come
And you bet they will
I have seen them too
It would come for you
Like I wish I could

When the waves all rise
It would pick you up
Lift your head up high
It would stick with you
Like I said I would

But remember, people might just be afraid
Of things they've never seen
You better laugh at them
From high above the clouds
In your Giant Squid Machine
And you'll be off forever more

Hang on to what you know
Hang on to what you're taught
Hang on to how you feel
Hang on to your beliefs

Hang on to who you are
I may seem so very far
I will never let you go
You will never be alone
