Even a child

I want to turn on the lights
I want to keep your hopes alive
So where do I begin
To help you believe again

Makers of secret planes
Keepers of our last remains
Dream of a holy state
In a nightmare time

You know I meant it well
But who was it meant to help?

Even the child knows you don't waste it
A promise is only given once
And there is no doubt that changes have begun

Well, even a child knows that you can't fake it
As long as the world is waking up
You are free now to recover your heart

The stories left to write
The ebb and flow of my life
To justify the end
I'll do everything I can

And it's a dangerous game
I heard you tell someone
That you don't care
But I don't believe the message

And when you sing about love
What are you thinking of?

Even a child knows you don't waste it
As long as the world is waking up
And there is no doubt that changes have begun

Well, even a child knows you don't fake it
A promise is only given once
You are free now to go wherever you want

There's nothing like waking up in some foreign town
And music, the call to prayer
Is wailing out of speakers in the marketplace
The first time

Even a child

Even a child knows you don't waste it
A present can always be delivered twice
You are free now to receive the gift of inside

From now on let's be open
All in time, let's breathe in
Am I brave, you're so brave
Am I afraid, no, not afraid

Even the child
