Oh My Dear Child Lyrics by Ellis Delaney

Everything That’s Real

2001

Oh my dear child
Don't you let them tear you down
You got so much history that will carry you around
Remember that blue ocean
In the back of your view
That big body of motion
Is there to hold onto
Oh my dear child
You got something special, something real
You got to take care now child
Make sure you give yourself time to heal
I know it's not easy
And it will never be easy
But oh yeah yeah yeah
You've got so much energy
You are sensitive but you are tough
Make sure you're not too eager
Make sure that you are free
You've got all the time in the world
So take it easy
Oh my dear child
All this weight you carry around
If you would just let it go
Your whole world won't come crashin' down
There will be many people
That will want a piece of you
You've got to take care now child
Make sure you know what is and is not true
Make sure you're not too eager
Make sure that you are free
You've got all the time in the world
So take it easy
{Remainder is scat singing]
