It bubbles up from somewhere
Deep in the hearts of man
There have come whirlpools
To this place in recent times
Drinking down the breath of brothers
And you might think that it's
Your world and the rest of us
Should fall away in forty
Moons you might find that it belongs
To Yesterday's Child
I wish I had been raised
Wild by wolves and padded
Through a forest a thousand
Years before man
Singing with my clan at two moons or
Three echoing across the world
The exact sound of freedom
Repeat chorus
And if you feel that way
Face the dark and fight
Or keep on dreaming
Cause dreams make light
In forty moons you might find
That it belongs to Yesterday's Child
I know where there's a spring of blood and water It bubbles up from somewhere Deep in the hearts of man There have come whirlpools To this place in recent times Drinking down the breath of brothers And you might think that it's Your world and the rest of us Should fall away in forty Moons you might find that it belongs To Yesterday's Child I wish I had been raised Wild by wolves and padded Through a forest a thousand Years before man Singing with my clan at two moons or Three echoing across the world The exact sound of freedom Repeat chorus And if you feel that way Face the dark and fight Or keep on dreaming Cause dreams make light In forty moons you might find That it belongs to Yesterday's Child Explain Request ×
