Linda Carriere - Socrates Lyrics

Tell me when a child cries
Never when his shoe's tied
When does he kick, bite, and scream?
Never when his dog dies

Please tell me, papa
If you really are so wise
When does a child dream of sleep?
Never during sunrise

Tell me where do girls grow
Never where it's dark out
Where do they hug, kiss, and dream
Never tease a man now

Please tell me, mama
If you're not too terribly proud
Where do I go to grow old?
Never where it's sundown

Please, oh, tell me
What is it you're feeling now?
Please, oh, tell me
What is it you're hiding now?

Am I only the child of dawn?
Am I dark, am I light? Oh

Please, tell me, papa
Am I still your child of night
Fading out of color's sight?
Please, I really need to know

Tell me how should I dream
Never in the future
How should I plan, build, and scheme?
Never let them catch you

Please tell me, mama
If you're all so honestly sure
How should I learn to survive?
Never, it's our nature

Please, oh, tell me
What is it you're feeling now?
Please, oh, tell me
What is it you're hiding now?

Am I only the child of dawn?
Am I dark, am I light? Oh

Please, tell me, papa
Am I still your child of night
Fading out of color's sight?
Please, I really need to know

Oh, tell me

Oh, tell me, please, tell me
