Child of mine
Just in time
See the sun
Go behind

I'm sure it's a sign
For man kind
For it's own crime
Uknown kinds

It lays on my mind

In her eyes
I pray I
Can't see my
Reason why

So then untill
Do what you will
But don't let it ill
You my girl,
For the rest of your world

Think of her when she's older
Think of her when she's young
Think of her in uniform
Think of her all the time

What have we done?
How as it come?
Can it be undone?
Is this the only one?

Now I've come
To know just one
But it aint all
That much fun
For the rest of the view

Think of her being lonly
Think of her with a love
Think of her wanting
Think of her with enough

Think of her as an old woman
Long after we're gone
Think of her when she was born
Think of where she came from

Look at you here
My sweet tear
But I fear
There's not too much left here

So I pray I
Can't give you my
Reason why
I'm not just a splendid lie
