Street Child

Street Child

We are the little ones who roam the underbelly

Of the streets that normal people walk

Wrong side of the tracks, the deep end of the ocean

The color of the gypsies in the shadow night

Darkness inside out seeps into your veins

Listen to the rain

The only thing keeping you alive

Is the gracious night

(Coro:)

Let me go, let me sleep until forever

Let me close my eyes and hide until the never

Let me go, let me slip into the sky

And tiptoe into madness in a hollow cry

'Cause no one ever told me I committed any crime

And no one ever told me how I went blind

And all I ever wanted was a free mind

A guiltless conscience and a place where I could fly

I threw my cards out on the table

And I put my neck out on the line

I took the verdict I was handed

And now I've served my time

(Coro) (x2)

Let me go
