To A Child Songtext

I'm so tired

and my miracle is not...



What is life?

did you read about it

in a magazine?

Silent lies

never give you what you need

Is there hope

for a mother and an elf on speed?


Kiss the sun hello

child in the park

Make your life a lovin' thing

and I'm so tired

and you're so wired

and I'm a poet

without a poem

and you are my child



?So serene?

read about us

in a magazine

Then why are we

crying by the washing machine?

Let's run away, child

and follow a dream



Kiss the sun hello

child in the park

Make your life a lovin' thing

The park is late

the wind is long

the trees have eyes

and you are my song

my lovely song



What is love?

Child, I am here to stand by you

and you will find

your own way

hard and true

And I'll find mine

'cause I'm growing with you



Kiss the sun hello

god and goddess

Make his life a lovin' thing

and if I smile

as you reach above

the climbing bars

to see the stars?

You are my love

Child, my love
