o clever one
A child is born
In the small hours of the morning
The people stand and wait
Welcome him with open arms
Oh
Oh, clever boy
Just born (don't know nothing)
Don't know nothing
Now the child is growin'
And you find she's got her own
Nothing standing in her path
It's where she's going not where she's at
Oh (girl, girl, girl)
Oh, clever girl (you know the world)
Know the world (always knocking)
Always comes knocking
Before you know, the child is gone
(Understand enough to find the coin)
And in their place a bitter one
(They'll mind the sun, remain low)
Taught them to always be afraid
(Afraid to face the power of the one)
They can't remember where they're from
(Drink from this cup to warm your heart)
Oh (clever one)
Oh, clever one (you'll be reborn)
Be reborn
(You ain't nothing)
You ain't nothing
In the small hours of the morning
The people stand and wait
Welcome him with open arms
Oh
Oh, clever boy
Just born (don't know nothing)
Don't know nothing
Now the child is growin'
And you find she's got her own
Nothing standing in her path
It's where she's going not where she's at
Oh (girl, girl, girl)
Oh, clever girl (you know the world)
Know the world (always knocking)
Always comes knocking
Before you know, the child is gone
(Understand enough to find the coin)
And in their place a bitter one
(They'll mind the sun, remain low)
Taught them to always be afraid
(Afraid to face the power of the one)
They can't remember where they're from
(Drink from this cup to warm your heart)
Oh (clever one)
Oh, clever one (you'll be reborn)
Be reborn
(You ain't nothing)
You ain't nothing
