Call Him by His Name

City sleeps, but not my youngest brother He's the first of us, an unexpected father Laying silent on the apartment He swears he'll be a better parent In a mother's loose foundation He won't crumble or sink into the ocean He's filling in to a grown man shoe whether That he was ready or ever wanted to So I call him by his name I say you're not to blame I love you just the same I love you just the same Yellow light befalls my window Casting lines upon your shadow What a selfless, firm foundation I surpassed past liberation Bind us by similar karma Hold me to personal dharma I will not be taking chances Holding fast to brittle branches So I call him by his name I say you're not to blame I love you just the same I love you just the same Oh, for man to see How to treat his queen To keeping your hands free To carry all she needs To be what she perceives You've made yourself out to be And to call her by her name To say you're not to blame I love you just the same I love you just the same I love you just the same I love you just the same I love you just the same I love you, love you, love you just the same I love you, love you, love you just the same I love you, love you, love you just the same I love you just the same I love you just the same I love you just the same
