Child in Time Lyrics


Sweet child in time, you'll see the line

The line that's drawn between the good and the bad

See the blind man, he's shooting at the world

The bullets flying, they're taking toll

If you've been bad, Lord, I bet you have

And you've not been hit by flying lead

You've not been hit by flying lead

You'd better close your eyes

You'd better bow your head

Wait for the ricochet

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

I'm cryin' for you day and night

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

A-a-ah, a-a-ah

I wanna hear you say

A-a-ah, a-a-ah

Sweet child in time, you'll see the line

The line that's drawn between the good of us and the bad of us

See the blind man, shooting at the world

The bullets flying, they're killing everyone

If you've been bad, Lord, I bet you have

And you've not been hit by flying lead

You've not been hit by flying lead

You'd better close your eyes

You'd better bow your head

Wait for the ricochet

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

I wanna be inside of you

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

A-a-ah, a-a-ah

I gotta hear you sing

A-a-ah, a-a-ah
