CHILD, CHILD
(Erik Darling / P. Street)

Erik Darling


When you were a child, child,
Did you want to be listened to?
When you were a child, child,
When you were a child?
When you were a child, child,
Did you want to be hugged awhile?
When you were a child, child,
When you were a child? 
     
Chorus:
And Bonnie, did they ever tell you
You were important?
Johnny, did they ever tell you
When you were a child?
What you thought and what you wanted
Should be fought for all undaunted--
Did anybody ever tell you,
When you were a child?
