âHelp a child understand its sadnessâ;
This is a song that I thought I should singâ
I tried to, but I couldn't sing it clearlyâ
I tried to write, but I had nothing to say
âHelp a child understand its sadnessâ;
This is the thought that I wanted to thinkâ
A thing can give only something itself hasâ
What never saw cannot teach to see
This life is split in two:
There's what you think you need, baby
And what you really need, but you
Can never have it
This life is split in two:
Relief can never be reliefâ
What you would need to learn to soothe yourself
Will not be there for youâ
Even with all the things you doâ
You love what you love because it demands that you do
Just know that Iâll be there for you
Help a child understand its sadnessâ
I wanna hear the child's deepest prayers
Listen quiet to its truest feelingsâ
Hear what it means when it says it's scared
Help a child understand its sadness
So when it's grown won't even have to sing!
Unless its heart comes to sing in laughter
And joyous songs about beautiful things
But it's not too late for you:
There's value that's not counterfeitâ
Maybe some amount it survives
Maybe it is not too late for you?
There's love canât be counterfeitedâ
Guess what I always want to sing is:
Tom, you want to do something true
For reasons not quite clear to you
You love what you love because it demands that you do
Yea I know it's not too late for you
