Child Inside Lyrics - Duh - Lagwagon

Too many hangars in the closet 

A clutter of confusion 

Too little rectitude to hold 

a moral absolute 

Too much distinction to relate to them 

Irresolutions we contemplate with no end 

In this world of give and take 

And what we refer to as maturity 

from emotional need to technology 

has you, a cultured seed of your society, 

lacking ability to feel clemency 

I'm surprized we still 

bleed into the abyss of despair 

that's hiding the child 

Compassion you would not dare 

admit to have experienced 

Do you regret looking back? 

A penitent confessing his sins 

The child inside of me recalls a time of purity, 

an outlook of release 

You remember 

Confident that you were able 

A future laid out on your table 

Running through memories 

a child is free 

The world restored you see 

I see 

The child inside of me
