Childhood runs across the meadow,
Taken in the night
Told it will be working in the city for a while
Staring from the windows
Leaning in the door
Flickering like a candle lying on the floor
[Chorus]
Say a prayer, say a prayer in the night
Say a prayer, say a prayer in the night
Childhood working with your papa chained to you mom
This is all you live for
Debts that linger on
Bearing all the glory, bearing all the weight
Knowledge of such hardship
At such a tender age
[Chorus: x2]
