This song may well tell the story found in the renowned fable The Little Prince. It is sang from the perspective of the crashed pilot and adressed to the Little Prince, it focuses on the deep connection he got to experience with the kid while stranded on the dessert.
I’ve got your dreams completely
I’ve got them locked away
And that doesn’t mean I own you
Or control a hair of your sweet head
I won’t leave you to suffer
I won’t let them prevail
I know a trap door, shortcut
Gate into the wilds of the free air
Lying here in the sweet Sahara
Thousand miles to the nearest problem
I see you sleep, it’s amazingly sweet
I will keep you safe, I’ll be your pilot
It’s tough to become a grown up
Put it off while you can
I tell you that when you land in the real world
It’s like quicksand
Grabbing for what is owed you
Crying for what is gone
Playing the game to look and feel and think
The same as the next child
Lying here in the sweet Sahara
Thousand miles to the nearest problem
I see you sleep, it’s amazingly sweet
I will keep you safe, I’ll be your pilot
Lying here with a busted engine
Sun and sky and the sound of silence
I feel your presence, no, it doesn't make sense
You can sign me up, I’ll be your pilot
