Child (Acoustic Version) Lyrics by Mark Owen

Green Man (Repackaged)

1996

[Verse 1]
Sleep peacefully now my child
I hope that you go away
To a place where your dreams can play
Wipe all the tears from your eyes
There is a sky of blue
This is your time of truth
[Bridge]
Like a bird high on the wind
May you fly away
Like a snowfall in the spring
May you cares melt away
[Chorus]
Child
Innocent child
Our hope lies inside
Your starry eyes
My innocent child
[Verse 2]
Hero, now that you are free
You have no need to fear
So go out and find your smile
[Bridge]
Like a candle in the stream
May you float away
Like a feather on the breeze
May you blow away
[Chorus]
Child
Innocent child
Our hope lies inside
Your starry eyes
My innocent child
[Middle 8]
Like a candle
Like a snowfall
Like a feather
Like a bird, fly away
Like a candle
Like a snowfall
Like a feather
Like a bird, fly away
[Chorus]
Child
Innocent child
Our hope lies inside
Your starry eyes
My innocent child
[Outro]
Sleep peacefully now my child
I hope that you go away
To a place where you dreams can play
