Darling Child Lyrics

The Darling child came back home to do better

Came back with a purpose, rain flooded the surface

Bathe the dirty skin and open up to the wind

And suddenly it was perfect

Cause somebody really gotta tell you bout yourself

I call you beautiful and that's your name now

Beautiful, I hope you stay down

I hope you stay proud

I can never expect that you stay the same, child

The darling child has no home, it's just land

And mirrors in the water that tell me what I am

And open gifts only to find tools

Wrapped in maps with coded language that tell me the wrong plan

A darling child has no home, it's just land

And mirrors in the water that tell me what I am

And open gifts only to find tools

Wrapped in maps with coded language that tell me the wrong plan

Sacrifice your life

We need it

Sacrifice your life

We need it

Sacrifice your life

We need it

The sins of the father, look much darker

Cause the kid brighter

Then the struggles they fighting

Cause I sound like thunder

But they look like lightning

The darling child has no friends, it's just lovers

Who see him as the light that bring him out of the covers

Celebrated and loved but segregated and shoved

The plan to follow roots and make it back to the child

Before the darling was wrapped and packed to pass down

Sacrifice your life

We need it

Sacrifice your life

We need it

Sacrifice your life

We need it

Darling child, you made us proud

And darling child, we leave you now

And darling child, we ask for your life

We have nowhere to go

So darling, darling child

We sacrifice you
