To a Child — текст песни (Laura Nyro)

What is life?
Did you read about it
In a magazine?
Silent lies
Never give you what you need
Is there hope
For a mother
And an elf on speed?
Kiss the sun hello
Child in the park
Make your life a lovin` thing
I`m so tired
You`re so wired
And I`m a poet
Without a poem
And you are my child

"So serene"
Read about us in a magazine
Then why are we
Crying by the washing machine?
Let`s run away child
And follow a dream

Kiss the sun hello
Child in the park
Make your life a lovin` thing
The park is late
The wind is strong
The trees have eyes
And you are my song
My lovely song

What is love?
Child I am here
to stand by you
And you will find
You own way hard and true
And I`ll find mine
`Cause I`m growin` with you

Kiss the sun hello
God & Goddess
Make his life a lovin` thing
And if I smile as you reach
above the climbin` bars
To see the stars
You are my love
Child my love
