Sweet Child

I wish you could run, I wish you could scream

I wish I could hold you in my hands

I’ve been walking a mile in cold feet

Wanting to stop, unsure if I can

I hate the way it feels

To wonder how it happens

But I think about it still

The natural disaster

I know time has worn you down

But only you can save me now

Open up

Sweet child, sweet child

I know that you’re still there

As long as I’m breathing air

Open up

Sweet child, sweet child

There’s what you have lost and what you believe

So I make myself smaller to fit in between

I sit in the silence and count down from three

Home sweet purgatory

Forever escaping, belly of the beast

Some kind of catharsis, Some form of release

Join the band on the corner playing for keeps

Selling my soul, but selling for free

I know time has worn you down

But only you can save me now

Open up

Sweet child, sweet child

I know that you’re still there

As long as I’m breathing air

Open up

Sweet child, sweet child
