One Child
Wandering, wondering, disillusioned
One and one again
Passing back and forth
Beside his own life
Beside his own life

Wandering, beaten, disillusioned
One and one again
He is alone and they are one
And they are alone

Children are lost within the night
Children lying on the pavement
Children wondering if somewhere above
An angel can be seen in the darkness

Children are lost within the night
Children dreaming of what will come
And drawing in the night
Shapes of light in the darkness

Like drops of heavy rain
They fall one by one
Shattering
Between line and line
And they are many

They close, one against the other, now
The story of his life
One story of a child
One child

Children are lost within the night
Children lying on the pavement
Children wondering if somewhere above
An angel can be seen in the darkness

Children are lost within the night
Children dreaming of what will come
And drawing in the night
Shapes of light in the darkness

Children wondering if somewhere above
An angel can be seen in the darkness

Wandering, wondering, disillusioned
One and one again
Passing back and forth
Beside his own life
