Crowded House Even A Child
I want to turn on the lights
I want to keep your hopes alive
So where do I begin
To help you believe again
Makers of secret planes
Keepers of our last remains
Dream of a holy state
In a nightmare time
You know I meant it well
But who was it meant to help?
Even a child knows you don?t waste it
A promise is only given once
And there is no doubt the changes have begun
Well, even a child knows you can?t fake it
As long as the world is waking up
You are free now to recover your heart
The story?s left to write
The ebb and flow of my life
To justify the end
I?ll do everything I can
And it?s a dangerous game
I heard you tell someone
That you don?t care
But I don?t believe the message
And when you sing about love
What are you thinking of?
Even a child knows you don?t waste it
As long as the world is waking up
And there is no doubt the changes have begun
Well, even a child knows you don?t fake it
A promise is only given once
You're free now to go wherever you want
Nothing like waking up in some foreign town
And music, the call to prayer
Is wailing out the speakers in the marketplace
The first time
Even a child
Well, even a child knows you don?t waste it
A present can always be delivered twice
You are free now to receive the gift of inside
From now on, let's breathe open
All in time, let?s breathe in
Am I brave, you?re so brave
Am I afraid, no, not afraid
Even a child
