Ran away at seventeen
No one was surprised
You said you'll make it on your own
While you smothered your cries
You wear your heart on your sleeve
In you we'll all believe
A bright sun to lift us up
No time for you to grieve
So don't let it bring you down
Never let your spark go out
There'll be those who'll love you
And the child that's in your heart
So don't let it bring you down
Never let your spark go out
There'll be those who'll love you
And the child that's in your heart
Bow your head and take it all
You're at our service, you're on call
And when you try to cash it in
You stand silent, embrace your fall
When you just about had enough
Of mending and stitching others up
Settle down, silence it
The bright eyed voice acting up
Maybe you'll find someone too,
Who'll listen to it talk
He might be hiding just like you
Another child at heart
So don't let it bring you down
Never let your spark go out
There'll be those who'll love you
And the child that's in your heart
So don't let it bring you down
Never let your spark go out
There'll be those who'll love you
And the child that's in your heart
