Lyrics
Were Only Children
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.
See the soft and yellow petals, touch the morning mist and cry
Holding out green velvet fingers in conversation with the sky
We're only children
Here's a man without an anthem, waving something in the air.
I only know that I just got one, but that's not saying I don't care
We're only children.
I believe in perfect silence, I believe in perfect light,
I believe in perfect darkness, perfect wrong and perfect right.
We're only children.
Living is easy, if you want it,
Loving is easy, yes, I want it.
