Look For The Child
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I want to know what the child would do
In place of me and you
I want to know what the babe would say
To make the anger dissipate
If whole naivete could only rule our world
We might at last have peace and all our animals
Pure unbridled joy
Look for the child, free of influence
And you'll find your teacher
Why are you all crying?
Why did daddy die?
Doesn't that man have a home?
Mommy
You know the child can only learn hate
From the actions of our adults
For we kill, we mame, we torture
What would become of the babe who grows
Without a parent's complex fears
Petty jealousy, petty lies
Look for the child, free of influence
And you'll find your teacher
Why are you all crying?
Why did daddy die?
Doesn't that man have a home?
When i grow up, will i be just like you
Mommy?
Mommy?
When the ships come down from the sky
To mingle with our people
Will it be easy to choose a representative?
I want to know what the babe would ask
Of our alien visitors
Where are your toys? will you be my friend?
Look for the child, free of influence
And you'll have your leader
Let 'em lead
Why are you all crying?
Why did daddy die?
Doesn't that man have a home?
When i grow up, will i be just like you
Mommy?
Why are you all crying?
Why did daddy die?
Doesn't that man have a home?
When i grow up, will i be just like you
Mommy?
Mommy?
Mommy?
