To a Child (1993)

[Verse 1]
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?

[Chorus]
Kiss the sun hello
My child's in the park
Make your life a lovin' thing
I'm so tired
You're so wired
And I'm a poet
Without a poem
And you are my child

[Verse 2]
"So serene"
I read about us
In a magazine
Then why are we
Crying by the washing machine?
Let's run away child
And follow a dream

[Chorus]
Kiss the sun hello
My child's in the park
Make your life a lovin' thing
The park is latе
The wind is strong
The trees have еyes
And you are my song
My lovely song

[Verse 3]
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 growin' with you

[Chorus]
Kiss the sun hello
God and Goddess
Make his life a lovin' thing
And if I smile
As you reach above
The climbin' bars
To see the stars—
You are my love
My love

[Outro]
I'll miss you
How many years?
