Darling Child
The Darling child came back home to do better
Came back with a purpose, rain flooded the surface
Bathe the dirty skin and open up to the wind
And suddenly it was perfect
Cause somebody really gotta tell you bout yourself
I call you beautiful and that's your name now
Beautiful, I hope you stay down
I hope you stay proud
I can never expect that you stay the same, child
The darling child has no home, it's just land
And mirrors in the water that tell me what I am
And open gifts only to find tools
Wrapped in maps with coded language that tell me the wrong plan
A darling child has no home, it's just land
And mirrors in the water that tell me what I am
And open gifts only to find tools
Wrapped in maps with coded language that tell me the wrong plan
Sacrifice your life
We need it
Sacrifice your life
We need it
Sacrifice your life
We need it
The sins of the father, look much darker
Cause the kid brighter
Then the struggles they fighting
Cause I sound like thunder
But they look like lightning
The darling child has no friends, it's just lovers
Who see him as the light that bring him out of the covers
Celebrated and loved but segregated and shoved
The plan to follow roots and make it back to the child
Before the darling was wrapped and packed to pass down
Sacrifice your life
We need it
Sacrifice your life
We need it
Sacrifice your life
We need it
Darling child, you made us proud
And darling child, we leave you now
And darling child, we ask for your life
We have nowhere to go
So darling, darling child
We sacrifice you
Came back with a purpose, rain flooded the surface
Bathe the dirty skin and open up to the wind
And suddenly it was perfect
Cause somebody really gotta tell you bout yourself
I call you beautiful and that's your name now
Beautiful, I hope you stay down
I hope you stay proud
I can never expect that you stay the same, child
The darling child has no home, it's just land
And mirrors in the water that tell me what I am
And open gifts only to find tools
Wrapped in maps with coded language that tell me the wrong plan
A darling child has no home, it's just land
And mirrors in the water that tell me what I am
And open gifts only to find tools
Wrapped in maps with coded language that tell me the wrong plan
Sacrifice your life
We need it
Sacrifice your life
We need it
Sacrifice your life
We need it
The sins of the father, look much darker
Cause the kid brighter
Then the struggles they fighting
Cause I sound like thunder
But they look like lightning
The darling child has no friends, it's just lovers
Who see him as the light that bring him out of the covers
Celebrated and loved but segregated and shoved
The plan to follow roots and make it back to the child
Before the darling was wrapped and packed to pass down
Sacrifice your life
We need it
Sacrifice your life
We need it
Sacrifice your life
We need it
Darling child, you made us proud
And darling child, we leave you now
And darling child, we ask for your life
We have nowhere to go
So darling, darling child
We sacrifice you
