lyrics

HEY KID I see you play in by your self, bouncin’ that ball on and on I read your mind your trophies shelf Shines with all the gold you won The backyard stinks won’t pollute your sweet dreams Your classmates scorns won’t weight in your neat wings Down by the river there you smile Far from daddy’s downtown booze There you can fly for miles and miles Over the gym the church the school Your eyes can see those worlds you only know But down here they keep sayin’ be quick grow Hey Kid, how I wish I could save you from time as I wish time could be a good mate How I wish you could shape your own life free from any fear or hate, you know hey kid I know my boy it’s hard to grow They want you strong you feel you’re wrong But it’s even harder to be a girl Keep it in your mind all life long But now my robin spread your wings and soar Shield ‘em well and the sky will always be yours Hey kid, how I wish I could save you from time as I wish time could be a good mate How I wish you could shape your own life free from any fear or hate Hey kid, how I wish you had always a friend ready to whisper it’s ok How I wish Love could lead your steps in every possible way, you know hey kid
