Child's Heart
You took the road that would hold you down
For fear of the lightness of being
You worked hard to keep it at bay
Had to leave it by the wayside
It gets further every day
I know you've got a child's heart
Calling to you, we're not apart
We're not apart
You took the road that would hold you on
For fear of the wide beyond
Over time comes this calling
Can't get at it with the mind
Still it comes to you sometimes
Don't we both long for this
We share this homesickness
I think we both long for this
I took the road clear and straight
I guess like a bargain I made
Go by the rules to be saved
Now seems that something's receding
This brightness of being
Over time I pick up speed
You know I've got a child's heart
Calling, we're not apart
We're not apart
How is this befitting of who we are
This trivial talking in circles
Over, we talk over
Was that all that there is
Now just watch the light be diminished
Oh, that don't feel right
Though I can't catch it with my mind
Still it comes to me sometimes
Don't we both long for this
Share this homesickness
Think we both long for this
Don't we both long for this
Don't we all long for this
I know you have a child's heart
Calling, we're not apart
We're not apart
For fear of the lightness of being
You worked hard to keep it at bay
Had to leave it by the wayside
It gets further every day
I know you've got a child's heart
Calling to you, we're not apart
We're not apart
You took the road that would hold you on
For fear of the wide beyond
Over time comes this calling
Can't get at it with the mind
Still it comes to you sometimes
Don't we both long for this
We share this homesickness
I think we both long for this
I took the road clear and straight
I guess like a bargain I made
Go by the rules to be saved
Now seems that something's receding
This brightness of being
Over time I pick up speed
You know I've got a child's heart
Calling, we're not apart
We're not apart
How is this befitting of who we are
This trivial talking in circles
Over, we talk over
Was that all that there is
Now just watch the light be diminished
Oh, that don't feel right
Though I can't catch it with my mind
Still it comes to me sometimes
Don't we both long for this
Share this homesickness
Think we both long for this
Don't we both long for this
Don't we all long for this
I know you have a child's heart
Calling, we're not apart
We're not apart
