Child Lyrics
by Free
Intro)
Am D Am D Am (arpeggiated acoustic guitar)
Who-ooh, whoo-aoh.
(Verse 1)(Acoustic guitar, piano, bass, brushes & tambourine, over)
Child you're talking of freedom,
Painted on your garden wall.(Acoustic guitar, over)
It's not there at all,
Child you're talking of wisdom.
You say wisdom is a golden rule,
You ain't no fool.
But you don't know who it is, (Acoustic guitar & tambourine, over)
Who calls you name.
In the light of the golden moon,
You don't know who it is who brought you here.
And chain-ed up your heart, (Tambourine, over)
So so-on.
(Interlude 1)(Piano & Acoustic guitar)
(Verse 2)
Child, yeah, you're life is a fairytale,
And it's not the same. Oh-oh.
In the clouds, Oh-h,
You're hiding behind.
In your misty mind have disappeared,
Like a sailor far from the shores of your dreams.
And far from the love of your home,
Sailor lost on your own misty seas.
And the chains on your heart, baby,
Might be my love, (Wailing guitar, over)
Might be my love.
It's so confusing,
When you feel that you're losing, ____ your-self. (Piano, over)
But, there, huh oh yeah, over the mountains,
That you thought you'd never have to climb.
There's a road, oh yeah.
Reaching and stretching.
To the corner of your mind, ohhh,. (Wailing guitar, over)
Like a river casts aside the dust.
And grows and grows, as it flows,
The feeling deep inside of you must,
Break like a dam.
(Coda)
So set you free, so set you free, (Wailing guitar, over)
So set you free, Hmmm-mmm, Ahhh-hhh
Hmmm-mmm, Hmmm-mmm.(Piano, over)
Oh yeah. ______ (Bass, over)
C Am C D C Am (sustained)
Hmmm-mmm, Hmmm-mmm.
