Throw a Penny

Little child, I have found
If I stood up and looked around
I'd see your brand new place
Staring right back at me
I believe, I am sure
That I'm taller than I was before
Building a brand new bridge
Into sincerity
But it's the times like this
We must learn to grow
Throw a penny for my children
They are going down
When the light shines down much brighter
Many souls are found
And I can't believe what they're saying
In the overground
Throw a penny for my children
Going down
Listen to the wise man as he breathes
He's really loving me (loving me)
He must be loving me (loving me)
At night I turn my face into the wind
And I whisper secretly (secretly)
What means the most to me
And bring him close (Ah)
Make it bad, make it good
Make it easy to be understood
But I see a velvet day
Breaking across the sky
I believe, I am sure
I am taller than I was before
Building a brand new bridge
I know I'm gonna try
But it's the times like this
We must find out why
Throw a penny for my children
They are going down
When the light shines down much brighter
Many souls are found
And I can't believe what they're saying
In the overground
Throw a penny for my children
Going down
Throw a penny for my children
For my children going down
Throw a penny for my children
For my children going down
