Slum Child

Your painful eyes

Tell the story of your life

About everything you need

About something you forget

The silence never heard

The pleasure never felt

And the tears they're falling down

And the fear it comes again

You're behind the times

You believe in God alone

I know his little ways

Don't listen to the voice

Let him alone

And the slum child looks around

Tries to escape and goes

And the slum child looks around

Tries to escape and goes

To the place he needs

And don't forget the words I said

to you

And your tears are falling down

Tries to escape and goes

And the fear it comes again

Tries to escape and goes

To the place he needs

And don't forget the words I said

to you

I said to you

And your tears are falling down

Tries to escape and goes

And the fear it comes again

Tries to escape and goes
