Like A Child Lyrics

The day that I was born

You blessed my soul

The world is pretty wild

And the smile you gave me

When I was a child

It stays with me now

Running round the field

Running round, running from Papa Bear

But I was never scared

'Cos you were always there

To wipe the mud from my knees

A teacher once said to me:

"It's up to you now. Don't throw your hand. Don't give up"

Look at me, a fraction of the whole

I'm just a fraction of the good old years so long ago

Sing like you're winning

Like you never lost a game

And let your Daddy hold you in his arms

Like a child again

"C'mon kid, the waves are high, the tide is coming in"

And you turned to me and the smile you gave me

Well, it felt like home

And it stays with me now

I just can't say, I just can't say, can't say it don't hurt

But all the time it was worth

Me letting you in

You were no more than a kid

Not that long out of school

In a moment you lost something so sweet

If he could talk to you now

Your Dad he'd say "Don't you cry"

If you lose your faith

Sing like you're winning

Like you never lost a game

Let your Daddy hold you in his arms like a child again

Life's not fair it takes the best of us away

But you and I, we're gonna lift our heads and live for the day

Sing like you're winning

Like you never lost a game

Let your Daddy hold you in his arms like a child again

Life's not fair it takes the best of us away

But you and I, we're gonna lift our heads and live for the day
