Who Is This Child |
| Who Is this child |
| That I’ve never seen before |
| Who Is this child |
| That I’ve not seen till this day |
| Who dares to fall asleep |
| Outside my door |
| If we should wait awhile |
| I’m sure she’ll go away |
| To be involved with this |
| Would surely not be wise |
| For in the final word |
| She means nothing to me |
| I learned the trick is |
| That we just avoid her eyes |
| And the question |
| What she means to… |
| What is this life |
| There will be other lives |
| Soon to arrive |
| Surely some will survive |
| She is but one |
| And there are many more |
| Each the same as any other |
| Who is this child |
| What does she mean to me |
| I close my eyes |
| And still her face I see |
| She is but one |
| Her kind is everywhere |
| Can’t you see there’s no way I should care |
| I need a moment now |
| I have to clear my mind |
| Is there a limit, Lord |
| Just to being kind |
| There is no way in life |
| That each child can be saved |
| Should I be looking with regret |
| At every grave |
| There are no guarantees |
| In life she should be warned |
| I’m not responsible for |
| This child being born |
| I’m not responsible |
| In any kind of way |
| For every child that life can gather |
| What is this life |
| There will be other lives |
| Soon to arrive |
| Surely some will survive |
| She is but one |
| And there are many more |
| Could this one life really matter |
| Who is this child |
| What does she mean to me |
| I close my eyes |
| And still her face I see |
| She is but one |
| Her kind is everywhere |
| Can’t you see there’s no way I should care |
| Can you see it in the night |
| Can you feel that it’s out there |
| It’s the arcing of a life |
| And it’s hanging in the air |
| Though I try to close my eyes |
| And pretend that I don’t know |
| In my heart |
| I just can’t let it go |
| There has to be another way for me |
| A way that leads from this insanity |
| A way that leads from my destruction as I say |
| Can you see it in the night |
| Can you feel that it’s out there |
| It’s the arcing of a life |
| And it’s hanging in the air |
| Though I try to close my eyes |
| And pretend that I don’t know |
| In my heart |
| I just can’t let it go |
