To A Child Lyrics - Map To The Treasure: Reimagining Laura Nyro - Billy Childs

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" 

I 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 and 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, my love 

I'll miss you 

How many years
