You walked alone in worry

With no one by your side

You felt you had to carry

This burden with a smile

(Play along and hide)

You feel them looking at you

They only see your shell

You’ve spent your days rehearsing

This role you built so well

But listen child don’t be afraid

You just gotta hold on cause things will change

Cause I’m ‘bout to build you a Time Machine

So you’ll be able to lean on me

Believe me I’m gonna build

A Time Machine for you boy

Get your beanie, put your shoes on

Get the teddy bear and the toys

Board the Time Machine

Put your heart and mind at ease

You’re safe and sound with me

Keep the monsters out of reach now

We’ll look at all the messed up things together

Stuff that made you feel like you don’t deserve to win, not ever

All the things you will go through

Nothing that I wouldn’t do

To find a different path for you

(Find a different path for you)

I wish there was a different path for you

Some things that we gotta travel through

I’mma tell the whole world ‘bout my favourite little absent minded dude

Biggest lie ever sold to you

Was that you got to “Soldier” through

Matter how you feel, took it as a sign

Now in you mind

There’s something wrong with you

Ain’t nobody loud as the devil

He’ll tell you lies

Little boy be proud of your freckles

Go ahead and shine

And be you! All you gotta do is see it through

That’s what the Time Machine do

How could I ever leave you

I’ll walk this road beside you

It will be dark and cold

And when we meet the monsters

We’ll just send them home

So listen child don’t be afraid

You just gotta hold on cause things will change

Cause I’m ‘bout to build you a Time Machine

So you’ll be able to lean on me

Lean on me

I’m bout to build a Time Machine

And bring you home with me

Don’t worry child don’t be afraid

We just gotta hold on cuz things will change
