The Child Inside Lyrics - Singles - Emily Plazek

Tempted to fall into cynical 

Child Inside, I'm back again, 

praying for strength to my feathered friend 

Falling felt bliss 

Crawled on skin, lick on lips 

Child Inside, please hear my plea 

Maybe it was all a dream 

Sweet, sweet, sweet humanity 

You beautiful, volatile sea 

My paradigm, my epitome 

My child inside, don't give up on me 

On that who I am 

The who I can be 

For hell is here on earth, in me 

When doubt and fear I choose to see 

And heaven is all of the lives 

That choose to love over survive 

I want to live, not just survive 

I want heaven, not hell, before I die 

I want heaven, my child inside 

Silence tempting, years I couldn't sing 

Child Inside, you kept music on 

And one day, I prayed, I'd sing back along 

Close to the edge, 

No, I can't be done yet 

Child Inside, my last innocence, 

The uncanny was never coincidence 

Sweet, sweet, sweet humanity 

You beautiful, volatile sea 

My paradigm, my epitome 

My child inside, don't give up on me 

On that who I am 

The who I can be 

For hell is here on earth, in me 

When doubt and fear I choose to see 

And heaven is all of the lives 

That choose to love over survive 

I want to live, not just survive 

I want heaven, not hell, before I die 

I want heaven, my child inside 

I believe hell can end 

For hell is here on earth, in me 

When doubt and fear I choose to see 

And heaven is all of the lives 

That choose to love over survive 

I want to live, not just survive 

I want heaven, not hell, before I die 

I want heaven, my child inside
