This Child

Check on your child
He's up here, all by his lonesome
He hopes someone will come
You wanted one and now it has begun
Won't you check up on your child
He's growing, right through his clothes
Tugging on the tails of your coat
Dragging on you everywhere you go

It's a project all the while to have a child
It's a back-breaking mile to reach down and grab this child

Is your mind still on your child
He's too heavy now for you to hold
He does not what he's told
You never knew a child to grow so old
Set him back down
On a journey between childhood and man
You've done all that you can
He was eating from the palms of your hands

It's a project all the while to have a child
It's a back-breaking mile to reach down and grab this child
It's a project all the while for one so infantile
It's a back-breaking mile to reach down and grab this child
