Slum Child

Your painful eyes
Tell the story of your life
About everything you need
About something you forget

The silence never heard
The pleasure never felt
And the tears they're falling down
And the fear it comes again

You're behind the times
You believe in God alone
I know his little ways
Don't listen to the voice
Let him alone

And the slum child looks around
Tries to escape and goes
And the slum child looks around
Tries to escape and goes
To the place he needs
And don't forget the words I said
to you

And your tears are falling down
Tries to escape and goes
And the fear it comes again
Tries to escape and goes
To the place he needs
And don't forget the words I said
to you
I said to you

And your tears are falling down
Tries to escape and goes
And the fear it comes again
Tries to escape and goes
