Little child, I have found, if I stood up and looked around, I’d see your brand new place staring right back at me. I believe, I am sure, that I’m taller than I was before. Building a brand new bridge into sincerity. But it’s the times like this we must learn to grow. Throw a penny for my children, they are going down. When the light shines down much brighter, many souls are found. And I can’t believe what they’re saying in the overground. Throw a penny for my children going down. Listen to the wise man as he breathes. He’s really loving me (loving me). He must be loving me (loving me). At night I turn my face into the wind and I whisper secretly (secretly), what means the most to me, and bring him close (Ah). Make it bad, make it good, make it easy to be understood, but I see a velvet day breaking across the sky. I believe, I am sure, I am taller than I was before. Building a brand new bridge I know I’m gonna try. But it’s the times like this, we must find out why. Throw a penny for my children, they are going down. When the light shines down much brighter many souls are found. And I can’t believe what they’re saying in the overground. Throw a penny for my children going down. Throw a penny for my children, for my children going down. Throw a penny for my children, for my children going down… |
