Crowded House - Even a Child Lyrics

I want to turn on the lights
I want to keep your hopes alive
So where do I begin
To help you believe again

Makers of secret planes
Keepers of our last remains
Dream of a holy state
In a nightmare time

You know I meant it well
But who was it meant to help?

Even a child knows you dont waste it
A promise is only given once
And there is no doubt the changes have begun

Well, even a child knows you cant fake it
As long as the world is waking up
You are free now to recover your heart

The storys left to write
The ebb and flow of my life
To justify the end
Ill do everything I can

And its a dangerous game
I heard you tell someone
That you dont care
But I dont believe the message

And when you sing about love
What are you thinking of?

Even a child knows you dont waste it
As long as the world is waking up
And there is no doubt the changes have begun

Well, even a child knows you dont fake it
A promise is only given once
You're free now to go wherever you want

Nothing like waking up in some foreign town
And music, the call to prayer
Is wailing out the speakers in the marketplace
The first time

Even a child

Well, even a child knows you dont waste it
A present can always be delivered twice
You are free now to receive the gift of inside

From now on, let's breathe open
All in time, lets breathe in
Am I brave, youre so brave
Am I afraid, no, not afraid

Even a child
